App::Sqitch::Config(3)

Name
App::Sqitch::Config - Sqitch configuration management

Synopsis
  my $config = App::Sqitch::Config->new;
  say scalar $config->dump;

Description
This class provides the interface to Sqitch configuration. It inherits from Config::GitLike, and therefore provides the complete interface of that module.

Interface

  Class Methods
"home_dir"

  my $hd = App::Sqitch->home_dir;

Returns the likely path to the user's hone directory.

"user_dir"

Returns the path to the user configuration directory, which is ~/.sqitch/.

"system_dir"

Returns the path to the system configuration directory, which is $(prefix)/etc/sqitch/templates. Call "sqitch --etc-path" to find out where, exactly (e.g., "$(sqitch --etc-path)/sqitch.plan").

  Instance Methods
"confname"

Returns the configuration file base name, which is sqitch.conf.

"system_file"

Returns the path to the system configuration file. The value returned will be the contents of the $SQITCH_SYSTEM_CONFIG environment variable, if it's defined, or else $(prefix)/etc/sqitch/templates. Call "sqitch --etc-path" to find out where, exactly (e.g., "$(sqitch --etc-path)/sqitch.plan").

"global_file"

An alias for system_file() for use by the parent class.

"user_file"

Returns the path to the user configuration file. The value returned will be the contents of the $SQITCH_USER_CONFIG environment variable, if it's defined, or else "~/.sqitch/sqitch.conf".

"local_file"

Returns the path to the local configuration file, which is just ./sqitch.conf, unless $SQITCH_CONFIG is set, in which case its value will be returned.

"dir_file"

An alias for local_file() for use by the parent class.

"initialized"

  say 'Project not initialized' unless $config->initialized;

Returns true if the project configuration file was found, and false if it was not. Useful for detecting when a command has been run from a directory with no Sqitch configuration.

"get_section"

  my $core = $config->get_section(section => 'core');
  my $pg   = $config->get_section(section => 'engine.pg');

Returns a hash reference containing only the keys within the specified section or subsection.

"add_comment"

Adds a comment to the configuration file.

"initial_key"

  my $key = $config->initial_key($data_key);

Given the lowercase key from the loaded data, this method returns it in its original case. This is like "original_key", only in the case where there are multiple keys (for multivalue keys), only the first key is returned.
