json-sett

json-sett

Read settings from and save them to a json file.

Requirements

• json-convenience

Install

install using pip: python -m pip install json-sett

Usage

• import the 'Settings' class: from json_sett import Settings
• initialize it: my_settings = Settings(file=<your_file_path>
• then access your settings as attributes of the 'my_settings' object:
  say your json file contains the key 'settingA' you can access its value like that: my_settings.settingA
• change the value of a setting like that: my_settings.settingA = <your_new_value>
  this will NOT save that value to the file
• to save all settings use: my_settings.save()

File restrictions

The settings must all be at the top level in the json file.
This is a valid example:

{
  "settingA": "valueA",
  "settingB": 14
}

This is an invalid example:

{
  "settingA": "valueA",
  "settingB": {
    "settingC": true
  }
}

Adding support for the invalid example e.g. being able to order settings in groups would be nice. Might do that some time.
