ConfigurationDefinition (liquibase 4.7.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- liquibase.configuration.ConfigurationDefinition<DataType>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<ConfigurationDefinition<DataType>>
```
public class ConfigurationDefinition<DataType>
extends Object
implements Comparable<ConfigurationDefinition<DataType>>
```
A higher-level/detailed definition to provide type-safety, metadata, default values, etc.. Any code that is working with configurations should be using an instance of this class, rather than the lower-level, generic LiquibaseConfiguration
ConfigurationDefinitions that are registered with LiquibaseConfiguration.registerDefinition(ConfigurationDefinition) will be available in generated help etc.
These objects are immutable, so to construct definitions, use ConfigurationDefinition.Builder
The definition keys should be dot-separated, camelCased names, using a unique "namespace" as part of it. For example:
```
yourCorp.yourProperty
```
or
```
yourCorp.sub.otherProperty
```
. Liquibase uses "liquibase" as the base namespace like
```
liquibase.shouldRun
```

- Method Detail
  - getCurrentValue
```
public DataType getCurrentValue()
```
    Convenience method around getCurrentConfiguredValue() to return the value.
  - getValueConverter
```
public ConfigurationValueConverter<DataType> getValueConverter()
```
  - getCurrentValueObfuscated
```
public DataType getCurrentValueObfuscated()
```
    Convenience method around getCurrentConfiguredValue() to return the obfuscated version of the value.
    
    Returns:
    
    the obfuscated value, or the plain-text value if no obfuscator is defined for this definition.
  - getCurrentConfiguredValue
```
public ConfiguredValue<DataType> getCurrentConfiguredValue()
```
    Returns:
    
    Full details on the current value for this definition. Will always return a ConfiguredValue,
  - getKey
```
public String getKey()
```
    The standard configuration key for this definition. See the ConfigurationDefinition class-level docs on key format.
  - getAliasKeys
```
public Set<String> getAliasKeys()
```
    Returns:
    
    alternate configuration keys to check for values. Used for backwards compatibility.
  - getDataType
```
public Class<DataType> getDataType()
```
    Returns:
    
    the type of data this definition returns.
  - getDescription
```
public String getDescription()
```
    A user-friendly description of this definition. This will be exposed to end-users in generated help.
  - getDefaultValue
```
public DataType getDefaultValue()
```
    The default value used by this definition if no value is currently configured.
    NOTE: this is only used if none of the ConfigurationValueProviders have a configuration for the property. Even if some return "null", that is still considered a provided value to use rather than this default.
  - getDefaultValueDescription
```
public String getDefaultValueDescription()
```
    A description of the default value. Defaults to String.valueOf(Object) of getDefaultValue() but can be explicitly with CommandArgumentDefinition.Building#defaultValue(Object, String).
  - getCommonlyUsed
```
public boolean getCommonlyUsed()
```
    Returns true if this is configuration users are often interested in setting. Used to simplify generated help by hiding less commonly used settings.
  - isInternal
```
public boolean isInternal()
```
    Return true if this configuration is for internal and/or programmatic use only. End-user facing integrations should not expose internal configurations directly.
  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(ConfigurationDefinition o)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<ConfigurationDefinition<DataType>>
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - equalsKey
```
public boolean equalsKey(String key)
```
    Return true if the given key matches this definition.
