## Using the library <a name = "using"></a>

### Installing and using the library <a name = "install_use"></a>

First, you need to install the library either using pip:

```shell
$ pip install yaml_config_wrapper
```

Then, import it and use it like so:

```python
from yaml_config_wrapper import Configuration

# The `config_schema_path` argument is optional
conf = Configuration(config_src='confs/template_conf.yml',
                     config_schema_path='yml_schemas/default_schema.json')
```

### Creating a config file <a name = "configuration"></a>

There are two already example yml configs
under [confs](https://github.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/tree/master/confs). An example structure
is the following:

```yaml
tag: production
cloudstore:
  config:
    api_key: !ENV ${DROPBOX_API_KEY}
  type: dropbox
datastore:
  config:
    hostname: !ENV ${MYSQL_HOST}
    username: !ENV ${MYSQL_USERNAME}
    password: !ENV ${MYSQL_PASSWORD}
    db_name: !ENV ${MYSQL_DB_NAME}
    port: 3306
  type: mysql
email_app:
  config:
    email_address: !ENV ${EMAIL_ADDRESS}
    api_key: !ENV ${GMAIL_API_KEY}
  type: gmail
```

The `!ENV` flag indicates that you are passing an environmental value to this attribute. You can change
the values/environmental var names as you wish.

There is also the option to create a validation schema the enforces a specific yaml structure. The
default dummy version is
the [default_schema.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/yaml_config_wrapper/default_schema.json)
file.

### Set the required environment variables <a name = "env_variables"></a>

In order to use the `!ENV` flag in you config, you need to set the corresponding environment variables
like so:

```shell
$ export DROPBOX_API_KEY=123
$ export MYSQL_HOST=foo.rds.amazonaws.com
$ export MYSQL_USERNAME=user
$ export MYSQL_PASSWORD=pass
$ export MYSQL_DB_NAME=Test_schema
$ export EMAIL_ADDRESS=Gmail Bot <foobar@gmail.com>
$ export GMAIL_API_KEY=123
```

The best way to do that, is to create a .env
file ([example](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/env_example)),
and source it before running the code.

## Manually install the library <a name = "manual_install"></a>

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for
development and testing purposes.

### Prerequisites <a name = "prerequisites"></a>

You need to have a machine with
[anaconda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/index.html) installed and
any Bash based shell (e.g. zsh) installed.

```ShellSession

$ conda -V
conda 4.10.1

$ echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/zsh

```

### Install the requirements <a name = "installing_req"></a>

All the installation steps are being handled by
the [Makefile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/Makefile).

First, modify the python version (`min_python`) and everything else you need in
the [settings.ini](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/settings.ini).

Then, execute the following commands:

```ShellSession
$ make create_env
$ conda activate yaml_config_wrapper
$ make dist
```

Now you are ready to use and modify the library.

### Run the Unit Tests <a name = "unit_tests"></a>

If you want to run the unit tests, execute the following command:

```ShellSession
$ make tests
```

## Continuous Integration <a name = "ci"></a>

For the continuous integration, the <b>CircleCI</b> service is being used. For more information you can
check the [setup guide](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/language-python/).

Again, you should set
the [above-mentioned environmental variables](#env_variables) ([reference](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/env-vars/#setting-an-environment-variable-in-a-context))
and for any modifications, edit
the [circleci config](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/.circleci/config.yml)
.

## Update PyPI package <a name = "pypi"></a>

This is mainly for future reference for the developers of this project. First,
create a file called `~/.pypirc` with your pypi login details, as follows:

```
[pypi]
username = your_pypi_username
password = your_pypi_password
```

Then, modify the python version (`min_python`), project status (`status`), release version (`version`) 
and everything else you need in
the [settings.ini](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/drkostas/yaml-config-wrapper/master/settings.ini).

Finally, execute the following commands:

```ShellSession
$ make create_env
$ conda activate yaml_config_wrapper
$ make release
```

For a dev release, change the `testing_version` and instead of `make release`, run `make release_test`.
