# Manage dynamic configuration of modules. package UR::ModuleConfig; =pod =head1 NAME UR::ModuleConfig - manage dynamic configuration of modules. =head1 SYNOPSIS package MyModule; use base qw(UR::ModuleConfig); MyModule->config(%conf); $val = MyModule->config('key'); %conf = MyModule->config; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module manages the configuration for modules. Configurations can be read from files or set dynamically. Modules wishing to use the configuration methods should inherit from the module. =cut # set up package require 5.006_000; use warnings; use strict; require UR; our $VERSION = "0.46"; # UR $VERSION; use base qw(UR::ModuleBase); use IO::File; =pod =head2 METHODS The methods deal with managing configuration. =cut # hash containing all configuration information our %config; # create a combined configuration hash from inheritance tree sub _inherit_config { my $self = shift; my $class = ref($self) || $self; my %cfg; # get all packages inherited from my @inheritance = $self->inheritance; # reverse loop through inheritance tree and construct config foreach my $cls (reverse(@inheritance)) { if (exists($config{$cls})) { # add hash, overriding previous values %cfg = (%cfg, %{$config{$cls}}); } } # now add the current class config if (exists($config{$class})) { %cfg = (%cfg, %{$config{$class}}); } # now add the object config if (ref($self)) { # add the objects config if (exists($config{"$class;$self"})) { %cfg = (%cfg, %{$config{"$class;$self"}}); } } return %cfg; } =pod =over 4 =item config MyModule->config(%config); $val = MyModule->config('key'); %conf = MyModule->config; my $obj = MyModule->new; $obj->config(%config); This method can be called three ways, as either a class or object method. The first method takes a hash as its argument and sets the configuration parameters given in the hash. The second method takes a single argument which should be one of the keys of the hash that set the config parameters and returns the value of that config hash key. The final method takes no arguments and returns the entire configuration hash. When called as an object method, the config for both the object and all classes in its inheritance hierarchy are referenced, with the object config taking precedence over class methods and class methods closer to the object (first in the @ISA array) taking precedence over those further away (later in the @ISA array). When called as a class method, the same procedure is used, except no object configuration is referenced. Do not use configuration keys that begin with an underscore (C<_>). These are reserved for internal use. =back =cut sub config { my $self = shift; my $class = ref($self) || $self; # handle both object and class configuration my $target; if (ref($self)) { # object config $target = "$class;$self"; } else { # class config $target = $self; } # lay claim to the modules configuration $config{$target}{_Manager} = __PACKAGE__; # see if values are being set if (@_ > 1) { # set values in config hash, overriding any current values my (%opts) = @_; %{$config{$target}} = (%{$config{$target}}, %opts); return 1; } # else they want one key or the whole hash # store config for object and inheritance tree my %cfg = $self->_inherit_config; # see how we were called if (@_ == 1) { # return value of key my ($key) = @_; # make sure hash key exists my $val; if (exists($cfg{$key})) { $self->debug_message("config key $key exists"); $val = $cfg{$key}; } else { $self->error_message("config key $key does not exist"); return; } return $val; } # else return the entire config hash return %cfg; } =pod =over 4 =item check_config $obj->check_config($key); This method checks to see if a value is set. Unlike config, it does not issue a warning if the key is not set. If the key is not set, C is returned. If the key has been set, the value of the key is returned (which may be C). =back =cut sub check_config { my $self = shift; my ($key) = @_; # get config for inheritance tree my %cfg = $self->_inherit_config; if (exists($cfg{$key})) { $self->debug_message("configuration key $key set: $cfg{$key}"); return $cfg{$key}; } # else $self->debug_message("configuration key $key not set"); return; } =pod =over 4 =item default_config $class->default_config(%defaults); This method allows the developer to set configuration values, only if they are not already set. =back =cut sub default_config { my $self = shift; my (%opts) = @_; # get config for inheritance tree my %cfg = $self->_inherit_config; # loop through arguments while (my ($k, $v) = each(%opts)) { # see is config value is already set if (exists($cfg{$k})) { $self->debug_message("config $k already set"); next; } $self->debug_message("setting default for $k"); # set config key $self->config($k => $v); } return 1; } =pod =over 4 =item config_file $rv = $class->config_file(path => $path); $rv = $class->config_file(handle => $fh); This method reads in the given file and expects key-value pairs, one per line. The key and value should be separated by an equal sign, C<=>, with optional surrounding space. It currently only handles single value values. The method returns true upon success, C on failure. =back =cut sub config_file { my $self = shift; my (%opts) = @_; my $fh; if ($opts{path}) { # make sure file is ok if (-f $opts{path}) { $self->debug_message("config file exists: $opts{path}"); } else { $self->error_message("config file does not exist: $opts{path}"); return; } if (-r $opts{path}) { $self->debug_message("config file is readable: $opts{path}"); } else { $self->error_message("config file is not readable: $opts{path}"); return; } # open file $fh = IO::File->new("<$opts{path}"); if (defined($fh)) { $self->debug_message("opened config file for reading: $opts{path}"); } else { $self->error_message("failed to open config file for reading: " . $opts{path}); return; } } elsif ($opts{handle}) { $fh = $opts{handle}; } else { $self->error_message("no config file input specified"); return; } # read through file my %fconfig; while (defined(my $line = $fh->getline)) { # clean up chomp($line); $line =~ s/\#.*//; $line =~ s/^\s*//; $line =~ s/\s*$//; next unless $line =~ m/\S/; # parse my ($k, $v) = split(m/\s*=\s*/, $line, 2); $fconfig{$k} = $v; } $fh->close; # update config return $self->config(%fconfig); } 1; #$Header$
