Interface Config.Builder

Enclosing interface:

Config

public static interface Config.Builder

Config Builder.

A factory for a Config object.

The application can set the following characteristics:

• overrides - instance of override source;
• sources - instances of configuration source;
• mappers - ordered list of configuration node mappers. It is also possible to disable loading of ConfigMappers as a service.
• parsers - ordered list of configuration content parsers. It is also possible to disable loading of ConfigParsers as a service.
• token reference resolving - a resolving of reference tokens in a key can be disabled
• filters - ordered list of configuration value filters. It is also possible to disable loading of ConfigFilters as a service.
• caching - can be elementary configuration value processed by filter cached?

In case of ConfigMappers, if there is no one that could be used to map appropriate type, it uses reflection API to find public constructor or a public static method to construct type instance from config node:

1. a static method named from with a single Config argument that return an instance of the type;
2. a constructor that accepts a single Config argument;
3. a static method named valueOf with a single Config argument that return an instance of the type;
4. a static method named fromConfig with a single Config argument that return an instance of the type;
5. a static method named from with a single String argument that return an instance of the type;
6. a constructor that accepts a single String argument;
7. a static method named valueOf with a single String argument that return an instance of the type;
8. a static method named fromString with a single String argument that return an instance of the type;
9. a static method builder() that creates instance of a builder class. Generic JavaBean deserialization is applied on the builder instance using config sub-nodes. See the last list item for more details about generic deserialization support. Builder has build() method to create new instance of a bean.
10. a factory method from with parameters (loaded from config sub-nodes) creates new instance of a bean; Annotation Config.Value is used on parameters to customize sub-key and/or default value.
11. a "factory" constructor with parameters (loaded from config sub-nodes); Annotation Config.Value is used on parameters to customize sub-key and/or default value.
12. a no-parameter constructor to create new instance of type and apply recursively same mapping behaviour described above on each JavaBean property of such object, a.k.a. JavaBean deserialization. Public property setter is used by default to set a property value loaded from appropriate config sub-node. By default a setter pattern is required - public method named set* with single parameter that returns void. It is possible to suppress returned void and set* name requirements by marking a method by Config.Value annotation. If there is no public setter, a public property field is used to set a property value. Generic mapping behaviour can be customized by Config.Value and Config.Transient annotations.

See Config.Value documentation for more details about generic deserialization feature.

If ConfigSource not specified, following default config source is used. Same as Config.create() uses. It builds composite config source from following sources, checked in order:

1. Tries to load configuration from meta one of following meta configuration files on classpath, in order:
   1. meta-config.yaml - meta configuration file in YAML format
   2. meta-config.conf - meta configuration file in HOCON format
   3. meta-config.json - meta configuration file in JSON format
   4. meta-config.properties - meta configuration file in Java Properties format
2. Otherwise, configuration consists of:
   1. Environment variables;
   2. or else System properties
   3. one of following files on classpath, checked in order:
      1. application.yaml - configuration file in YAML format
      2. application.conf - configuration file in HOCON format
      3. application.json - configuration file in JSON format
      4. application.properties - configuration file in Java Properties format

It uses the first and only one file that exists and there is a ConfigParser available that supports appropriate media type. Available parser means that the parser:

1. is loaded as a service using ServiceLoader;
2. or if it does not exist, a config core built-in parser is used, if exists.

Method Detail

sources

Config.Builder sources(java.util.List<java.util.function.Supplier<ConfigSource>> configSources)

Sets ordered list of ConfigSource instance to be used as single source of configuration to be wrapped into Config API.

Configuration sources found earlier in the list are considered to have a higher priority than the latter ones. I.e., when resolving a value of a key, the sources are consulted in the order they have been provided and as soon as the value is found in a configuration source, the value immediately is returned without consulting any of the remaining configuration sources in the prioritized collection.

This is default implementation of ConfigSources.from(Supplier...) Composite ConfigSource} provided by Fallback MergingStrategy. It is possible to use custom implementation of merging strategy.

 builder.source(ConfigSources.from(source1, source2, source3)
                      .mergingStrategy(new MyMergingStrategy));
 

Target source is composed from following sources, in order:

1. environment variables config source
   Can disabled by disableEnvironmentVariablesSource()
2. system properties config source Can disabled by disableSystemPropertiesSource()
3. Source(s) specified by user in the method.

Parameters:

configSources - ordered list of configuration sources

overridingSource - a source with overriding key patterns and assigned values

Returns:

an updated builder instance

Config.Builder addFilter(ConfigFilter configFilter)

Registers a ConfigFilter instance that will be used by Config to filter elementary value before it is returned to a user.

Filters are applied in same order as was registered by the addFilter(ConfigFilter), addFilter(Function) or addFilter(Supplier) method.

ConfigFilter is actually a BiFunction<String,String,String> where the first input parameter is the config key, the second is the original value and the result is the new value. So the filter can be added as simply as:

     Config.builder()
          .addFilter((key, originalValue) -> originalValue.toUpperCase())
          .build();
 

The config system will automatically load filters defined as a service, unless disabled.

Parameters:

configFilter - filter instance

Returns:

an updated builder instance

See Also:

addFilter(Function), addFilter(Supplier)

addFilter

Config.Builder addFilter(java.util.function.Function<Config,ConfigFilter> configFilterProvider)

Registers a ConfigFilter provider as a Function<Config, ConfigFilter>. An obtained filter will be used by Config to filter elementary value before it is returned to a user.

Filters are applied in same order as was registered by the addFilter(ConfigFilter), addFilter(Function) or addFilter(Supplier) method.

Registered provider's Function.apply(Object) method is called every time the new Config is created. Eg. when this builder's build() method creates the Config or when the new change event is fired with new Config instance with its own filter instance is created.

Parameters:

configFilterProvider - a config filter provider as a function of Config to ConfigFilter

Returns:

an updated builder instance

See Also:

addFilter(ConfigFilter), addFilter(Supplier)

addFilter

Config.Builder addFilter(java.util.function.Supplier<java.util.function.Function<Config,ConfigFilter>> configFilterSupplier)

Filters are applied in same order as was registered by the addFilter(ConfigFilter), addFilter(Function) or addFilter(Supplier) method.

Registered provider's Function.apply(Object) method is called every time the new Config is created. Eg. when this builder's build() method creates the Config or when the new change event is fired with new Config instance with its own filter instance is created.

Parameters:

configFilterSupplier - a config filter provider as a supplier of a function of Config to ConfigFilter

Returns:

an updated builder instance

See Also:

addFilter(ConfigFilter), addFilter(Function)

Caching is enabled by default.

Returns:

an updated builder instance

See Also:

addFilter(ConfigFilter)
