ConfigDocument

Represents an individual HOCON or JSON file, preserving all formatting and syntax details. This can be used to replace individual values and exactly render the original text of the input.

Represents an individual HOCON or JSON file, preserving all formatting and syntax details. This can be used to replace individual values and exactly render the original text of the input.

Because this object is immutable, it is safe to use from multiple threads and there's no need for "defensive copies."

Do not implement interface ConfigDocument; it should only be implemented by the config library. Arbitrary implementations will not work because the library internals assume a specific concrete implementation. Also, this interface is likely to grow new methods over time, so third-party implementations will break.

Value members

Abstract methods

def hasPath(path: String): Boolean

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not a ConfigDocument has a value at the desired path. null counts as a value for purposes of this check.

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not a ConfigDocument has a value at the desired path. null counts as a value for purposes of this check.

Value Params
path

the path to check

Returns

true if the path exists in the document, otherwise false

def render: String

The original text of the input, modified if necessary with any replaced or added values.

The original text of the input, modified if necessary with any replaced or added values.

Returns

the modified original text

def withValue(path: String, newValue: ConfigValue): ConfigDocument

Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path. Works like [[#withValueText]], but takes a ConfigValue instead of a string.

Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path. Works like [[#withValueText]], but takes a ConfigValue instead of a string.

Value Params
newValue

the value to set at the desired path, represented as a ConfigValue. The rendered text of the ConfigValue will be inserted into the ConfigDocument.

path

the path at which to set the desired value

Returns

a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value at the desired path

def withValueText(path: String, newValue: String): ConfigDocument

Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with the desired value set at the desired path. If the path exists, it will remove all duplicates before the final occurrence of the path, and replace the value at the final occurrence of the path. If the path does not exist, it will be added. If the document has an array as the root value, an exception will be thrown.

If the document has an array as the root value, an exception will be thrown.

Value Params
newValue

the value to set at the desired path, represented as a string. This string will be parsed into a ConfigNode using the same options used to parse the entire document, and the text will be inserted as-is into the document. Leading and trailing comments, whitespace, or newlines are not allowed, and if present an exception will be thrown. If a concatenation is passed in for newValue but the document was parsed with JSON, the first value in the concatenation will be parsed and inserted into the ConfigDocument.

path

the path at which to set the desired value

Returns

a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value at the desired path

def withoutPath(path: String): ConfigDocument

Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with all values at the desired path removed. If the path does not exist in the document, a copy of the current document will be returned. If there is an array at the root, an exception will be thrown.

Returns a new ConfigDocument that is a copy of the current ConfigDocument, but with all values at the desired path removed. If the path does not exist in the document, a copy of the current document will be returned. If there is an array at the root, an exception will be thrown.

Value Params
path

the path to remove from the document

Returns

a copy of the ConfigDocument with the desired value removed from the document.
