# pyfigure

Generate configuration files for classes.

## Installation

`pip install pyfigure`

## Usage

To generate a configuration file for a class, you must extend the class with `Configurable`, from the `pyfigure` module.

Then, to add options to the configuration, create a new `Config` class, and add variables of the `Option` class.

```py
class YourClass(Configurable):

    class YourConfig(Config):

        option_name: type = Option(
            default,
            description
        )

        class sub_config:

            cub_option: type = Option()
```

### Where the arguments are as follows:

|argument|description
|-|-
`default`|The default value of the option
`description`|A comment to explain what the option is for, optional
`type`|Assign a different type, optionally

`file.py`
```py
from pathlib import Path
from pyfigure import Configurable, Config, Option
from pyfigure.types import List, Choice, Color, Number, Time

class ExampleClass(Configurable):

    #config_file = 'other_file.toml'

    class ExampleConfig(Config):
        any_option = Option('any', "Any value works here")
        time_option: Time = Option('12:00:00 e', "It's High Noon.")
        string_option: str = Option('default', "Any string works here")
        integer_option: int = Option(24, "Any integer here")
        float_option: float = Option(15.55, "Any float")
        bool_option: bool = Option(True, "Any boolean")
        list_option: list = Option(['e', 'a', 'o'], "A list of things")
        int_list_option: List[int] = Option([1, 2, 3], 'A list of integers')
        choice_option: Choice['spam', 'eggs'] = Option('spam', 'Either "spam" or "eggs"')
        class sub_config:
            sub_option: str = Option('this value in a sub value')
            class sub_sub_config:
                sub_sub_option: str = Option('this value is a sub value of a sub value')
        list_of_dicts_option: List[dict] = Option([{"foo": "bar"}])
        path_option: Path = Option('test/', "A value that can be created using another value")
        color_option: Color = Option('#33ff33', "A hex color value")
        time_option: Time = Option('12:00:00', "It's High Noon")
        number_option: Number(min=0, max=15) = Option(10, "A very specific number")

    #def __init__(self):
    #    Configurable.__init__(self)

ec = ExampleClass()
print(ec.config)
```

This class, when initialized, will print:

```py
{
	'any_option': 'any',
	'time_option': datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1, 12, 0),
	'string_option': 'default',
	'integer_option': 24,
	'float_option': 15.55,
	'bool_option': True,
	'list_option': ['e', 'a', 'o'],
	'int_list_option': [1, 2, 3],
	'choice_option': 'spam',
	'path_option': PosixPath('test'),
	'color_option': #33FF33,
	'number_option': 10,
	'list_of_dicts_option': [{'foo': 'bar'}],
	'sub_config': {
	    'sub_option': 'this value in a sub value',
	    'sub_sub_config': {
		    'sub_sub_option': 'this value is a sub value of a sub value'
		}
	}
}
```

And create a new file:

`file.toml`
```toml
any_option = "any" # Any value works here
time_option = "12:00:00" # It's High Noon
string_option = "default" # Any string works here
integer_option = 24 # Any integer here
float_option = 15.55 # Any float
bool_option = true
list_option = ["e", "a", "o"] # A list of things
int_list_option = [1, 2, 3] # A list of integers
choice_option = "spam" # Either "spam" or "eggs"
path_option = "test/" # A value that can be created using another value
color_option = "#33ff33" # A hex color value
number_option = 10 # A very specific number

[[list_of_dicts_option]]
foo = "bar"

[sub_config]
sub_option = "this value in a sub value"

[sub_config.sub_sub_config]
sub_sub_option = "this value is a sub value of a sub value"

```
