Three ways to use your settings, guaranteed to work the way you've always *just* wanted!

* Simply set and get in sfs-settings itself
* Simply set and get in the calling module
* Simply use it for your own settings pattern

Full documentation is available `here <https://sfs-settings.readthedocs.io/>`_.

Requirements
------------

* Python 3.11+
* Poetry 1.9+
* Pydantic 2.0+
* keyring = "^25.0.0"
* dotenv = "^0.9.0"

How to use
----------

Set and get in sfs-settings itself
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    import sfs_settings as sfs

    sfs.track_env_var("URL", str)
    sfs.track_secret_var("API_KEY", str)

    print(sfs.URL)
    print(sfs.API_KEY)

**Do use this if**:

* You're an end application only and don't need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.

**Don't use this if**:

* You're a re-usable module.
* Need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.

Set and get in the calling module
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    from sfs_settings import set_env_var_locally, set_secret_var_locally

    set_env_var_locally("URL", str)
    set_secret_var_locally("API_KEY", str)

    print(URL)
    print(API_KEY)

**Do use this if**:

* You're an end application only and don't need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.
* You're a re-usable module.

**Don't use this if**:

* Need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.

Use it for your own settings pattern
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: python

    from sfs_settings import return_env_var, return_secret_var

    URL: str = return_env_var("URL", str)
    API_KEY: str = return_secret_var("API_KEY", str)

    print(URL)
    print(API_KEY)

**Do use this if**:

* You're an end application only and don't need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.
* You're a re-usable module.
* Need to combine settings obtained from multiple sources.

**Don't use this if**:

* You can use a simpler pattern above.

``.env`` support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``sfs-settings`` supports ``.env`` files!  It automatically loads them from the current working directory.  If you need to have easy swapping between development, local, testing, cloud, and other configurations then swapping ``.env`` files is a great way to do it.

per-user application settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

``sfs-settings`` does not yet support keeping settings somewhere in ``~/.config/``...  We're working on it.

debugging support?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's kinda complicated inside ``sfs-settings`` actually.  So when if you're using a more complicated setup and things seem a little too magical?  It isn't implemented yet, but it is on the roadmap to add a ``DEBUG`` mode.

No downtime to atomically change settings?  Transaction locks incoming!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While not here yet, ``sfs-settings`` **will** support transaction locks so that you don't need to stop your container or VM in order to guarantee correct settings at all times.  So, how do you feel about sub-millisecond not even downtime, but pauses?  We think that they're just swell!

When it lands, you'll be able to do something like this:

.. code-block:: bash

    export sfs_settings_TRANSACTION_LOCK="*"
    export MY_SETTING_ONE="Hello"
    export MY_SETTING_TWO="World"
    unset sfs_settings_TRANSACTION_LOCK

Just remember that these will **ONLY** work for settings which have ``reobtain_each_usage=True``!

Looking for something with more nuance than 'halt everything'?  We've got you covered!  See the specific for transactional locks documentation for more details.

Integrations
------------

`sfs-settings` does its best to promote 12-factor app principles.  This means that it does its best to
integrate with other modules which do the same.  Here are some of the integrations it supports:

`keyring` backends
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`keyring`, the python module for integrating with system password managers like Windows Credential Manager,
macOS Keychain, and GNOME Keyring, is supported by this module.  However, not all backends are supported out
of the box, particularly for cloud deployments.  If you need support for additional backends, more can be
found at `the keyring pypi page <https://pypi.org/project/keyring/>`.  For examples on how to use these
additional backends, please review the `backend configuration guide <https://sfs-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/deployment.html>`_.


`.env` support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`sfs-settings` supports `.env` files!  It automatically loads them from the current working directory.
If you need to have easy swapping between development, local, testing, cloud, and other configurations then
swapping `.env` files is a great way to do it.  Examples of how to use `.env` files can be found in the
`environment variables guide <https://sfs-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/environment_variables.html>`_.
