Add a Quick Start tutorial
As a user completely new to oslo_config (well, I had only experienced it in the already-implemented context of the nova project), I would like to have had a reference document that provided a step-by-step guide to writing a simple test script I could use to noodle around. It might have gone something like this. Change-Id: I02ff56f47ac8b93e0ee37eb55b53552059e4da27

oslo.config Quick Start!
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
Are you brand new to oslo.config? This brief tutorial will get you started
|
||||
understanding some of the fundamentals.
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
* A plain text editor or Python-enabled IDE
|
||||
* A Python interpreter
|
||||
* A command shell from which the interpreter can be invoked
|
||||
* The oslo_config library in your Python path.
|
||||
|
||||
Test Script
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
Put this in a file called ``oslocfgtest.py``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: python
|
||||
|
||||
# The sys module lets you get at the command line arguments.
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
|
||||
# Load up the cfg module, which contains all the classes and methods
|
||||
# you'll need.
|
||||
from oslo_config import cfg
|
||||
|
||||
# Define an option group
|
||||
grp = cfg.OptGroup('mygroup')
|
||||
|
||||
# Define a couple of options
|
||||
opts = [cfg.StrOpt('option1'),
|
||||
cfg.IntOpt('option2', default=42)]
|
||||
|
||||
# Register your config group
|
||||
cfg.CONF.register_group(grp)
|
||||
|
||||
# Register your options within the config group
|
||||
cfg.CONF.register_opts(opts, group=grp)
|
||||
|
||||
# Process command line arguments. The arguments tell CONF where to
|
||||
# find your config file, which it loads and parses to populate itself.
|
||||
cfg.CONF(sys.argv[1:])
|
||||
|
||||
# Now you can access the values from the config file as
|
||||
# CONF.<group>.<opt>
|
||||
print("The value of option1 is %s" % cfg.CONF.mygroup.option1)
|
||||
print("The value of option2 is %d" % cfg.CONF.mygroup.option2)
|
||||
|
||||
Conf File
|
||||
---------
|
||||
Put this in a file called ``oslocfgtest.conf`` in the same directory as
|
||||
``oslocfgtest.py``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: ini
|
||||
|
||||
[mygroup]
|
||||
option1 = foo
|
||||
# Comment out option2 to test the default value
|
||||
# option2 = 123
|
||||
|
||||
Run It!
|
||||
-------
|
||||
From your command shell, in the same directory as your script and conf, invoke:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
python oslocfgtest.py --config-file oslocfgtest.conf
|
||||
|
||||
Revel in the output being exactly as expected. If you've done everything
|
||||
right, you should see:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: shell
|
||||
|
||||
The value of option1 is foo
|
||||
The value of option2 is 42
|
||||
|
||||
Now go play with some more advanced option settings!
