@nteract/mythic-configuration

This package implements a configuration system.

Installation

$ yarn add @nteract/mythic-configuration

$ npm install --save @nteract/mythic-configuration

Usage

Initialize the package by including the configuration package. Per default it will save the configuration in memory. If you would like to use a config file, you can dispatch a setConfigFile action:

import { configuration } from "@nteract/mythic-configuration";
import { makeConfigureStore } from "@nteract/myths";

export const configureStore = makeConfigureStore({
  packages: [configuration],
});

store.dispatch(setConfigFile("/etc/app.conf"));

The package will use that file to save any configuration options. The file is also watched and loaded when it changes.

After this initialisation, you can then work with configuration options:

export const {
  selector: tabSize,
  action: setTabSize,
} = defineConfigOption({
  label: "Tab Size",
  key: "codeMirror.tabSize",
  values: [
    {label: "2 Spaces", value: 2},
    {label: "3 Spaces", value: 3},
    {label: "4 Spaces", value: 4},
  ],
  defaultValue: 4,
});

const currentValue = tabSize(store.getState());

store.dispatch(setTabSize(2));

To get an object from all config options with a common prefix, use createConfigCollection:

const codeMirrorConfig = createConfigCollection({
  key: "codeMirror",
});

Now codeMirrorConfig() will give you e.g. with above option {tabSize: 4}, with default values properly handled.

You can also get all options:

import { allConfigOptions } from "@nteract/mythic-configuration";

const options = allConfigOptions();
const optionsWithCurrentValues = allConfigOptions(store.getState());

In case you want to change the key of a config option, you can deprecate the old key:

createDeprecatedConfigOption({
  key: "cursorBlinkRate",
  changeTo: (value: number) => ({
    "codeMirror.cursorBlinkRate": value,
  }),
});

This will change the old key to the new key, unless the new key already has a value.

API

import { RootState } from "@nteract/myths";
import { ConfigurationState, setConfigAtKey } from "@nteract/mythic-configuration";

export interface ConfigurationOptionDefinition<TYPE = any> {
  label: string;
  key: string;
  defaultValue: TYPE;
  valuesFrom?: string;
  values?: Array<{
    label: string;
    value: TYPE;
  }>;
}

export interface ConfigurationOption<TYPE = any>
  extends ConfigurationOptionDefinition<TYPE> {

  value?: TYPE;
  selector: (state: HasPrivateConfigurationState) => TYPE;
  action: (value: TYPE) => typeof setConfigAtKey.action;
}

export type HasPrivateConfigurationState =
  RootState<"configuration", ConfigurationState>;
