cement.ext.ext_json_configobj

The JSON ConfigObj Extension is a combination of the JsonConfigHandler and ConfigObjConfigHandler which allows the application to read JSON configuration files into a ConfigObj based configuration handler.

Requirements

  • ConfigObj (pip install configobj)

Configuration

This extension does not support any configuration settings.

Usage

myapp.conf

{
    "myapp": {
        "foo": "bar"
    }
}

myapp.py

from cement.core.foundation import CementApp

class MyApp(CementApp):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        extensions = ['json_configobj']
        config_handler = 'json_configobj'

with MyApp() as app:
    app.run()

    # get config settings
    app.config['myapp']['foo']

    # set config settings
    app.config['myapp']['foo'] = 'bar2'

    # etc...

Bases: cement.ext.ext_configobj.ConfigObjConfigHandler

This class implements the IConfig interface, and provides the same functionality of ConfigObjConfigHandler but with JSON configuration files.
