Here's an example where I typo'd `true` in a [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) configuration. ``` pre_commit.clientlib.InvalidConfigError: ==> File /home/asottile/workspace/pre-commit/.pre-commit-config.yaml ==> At Config() ==> At key: repos ==> At Repository(repo='https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks') ==> At key: hooks ==> At Hook(id='flake8') ==> At key: always_run =====> Expected bool got str ``` ## API ### `cfgv.validate(value, schema)` Perform validation on the schema: - raises `ValidationError` on failure - returns the value on success (for convenience) ### `cfgv.apply_defaults(value, schema)` Returns a new value which sets all missing optional values to their defaults. ### `cfgv.remove_defaults(value, schema)` Returns a new value which removes all optional values that are set to their defaults. ### `cfgv.load_from_filename(filename, schema, load_strategy, exc_tp=ValidationError)` Load a file given the `load_strategy`. Reraise any errors as `exc_tp`. All defaults will be populated in the resulting value. Most useful when used with `functools.partial` as follows: ```python load_my_cfg = functools.partial( cfgv.load_from_filename, schema=MY_SCHEMA, load_strategy=json.loads, exc_tp=MyError, ) ``` ## Making a schema A schema validates a container -- `cfgv` provides `Map` and `Array` for most normal cases. ### writing your own schema container If the built-in containers below don't quite satisfy your usecase, you can always write your own. Containers use the following interface: ```python class Container(object): def check(self, v): """check the passed in value (do not modify `v`)""" def apply_defaults(self, v): """return a new value with defaults applied (do not modify `v`)""" def remove_defaults(self, v): """return a new value with defaults removed (do not modify `v`)""" ``` ### `Map(object_name, id_key, *items)` The most basic building block for creating a schema is a `Map` - `object_name`: will be displayed in error messages - `id_key`: will be used to identify the object in error messages. Set to `None` if there is no identifying key for the object. - `items`: validator objects such as `Required` or `Optional` Consider the following schema: ```python Map( 'Repo', 'url', Required('url', check_any), ) ``` In an error message, the map may be displayed as: - `Repo(url='https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit')` - `Repo(url=MISSING)` (if the key is not present) ### `Array(of, allow_empty=True)` Used to nest maps inside of arrays. For arrays of scalars, see `check_array`. - `of`: A `Map` / `Array` or other sub-schema. - `allow_empty`: when `False`, `Array` will ensure at least one element. When validated, this will check that each element adheres to the sub-schema. ## Validator objects Validator objects are used to validate key-value-pairs of a `Map`. ### writing your own validator If the built-in validators below don't quite satisfy your usecase, you can always write your own. Validators use the following interface: ```python class Validator(object): def check(self, dct): """check that your specific key has the appropriate value in `dct`""" def apply_default(self, dct): """modify `dct` and set the default value if it is missing""" def remove_default(self, dct): """modify `dct` and remove the default value if it is present""" ``` It may make sense to _borrow_ functions from the built in validators. They additionally use the following interface(s): - `self.key`: the key to check - `self.check_fn`: the [check function](#check-functions) - `self.default`: a default value to set. ### `Required(key, check_fn)` Ensure that a key is present in a `Map` and adheres to the [check function](#check-functions). ### `RequiredRecurse(key, schema)` Similar to `Required`, but uses a [schema](#making-a-schema). ### `Optional(key, check_fn, default)` If a key is present, check that it adheres to the [check function](#check-functions). - `apply_defaults` will set the `default` if it is not present. - `remove_defaults` will remove the value if it is equal to `default`. ### `OptionalRecurse(key, schema, default)` Similar to `Optional` but uses a [schema](#making-a-schema). - `apply_defaults` will set the `default` if it is not present and then validate it with the schema. - `remove_defaults` will remove defaults using the schema, and then remove the value it if it is equal to `default`. ### `OptionalNoDefault(key, check_fn)` Like `Optional`, but does not `apply_defaults` or `remove_defaults`. ### `Conditional(key, check_fn, condition_key, condition_value, ensure_absent=False)` - If `condition_key` is equal to the `condition_value`, the specific `key` will be checked using the [check function](#check-functions). - If `ensure_absent` is `True` and the condition check fails, the `key` will be checked for absense. Note that the `condition_value` is checked for equality, so any object implementing `__eq__` may be used. A few are provided out of the box for this purpose, see [equality helpers](#equality-helpers). ### `ConditionalOptional(key, check_fn, default, condition_key, condition_value, ensure_absent=False)` Similar to ``Conditional`` and ``Optional``. ### `ConditionalRecurse(key, schema, condition_key, condition_value, ensure_absent=True)` Similar to `Conditional`, but uses a [schema](#making-a-schema). ### `NoAdditionalKeys(keys)` Use in a mapping to ensure that only the `keys` specified are present. ## Equality helpers Equality helpers at the very least implement `__eq__` for their behaviour. They may also implement `def describe_opposite(self):` for use in the `ensure_absent=True` error message (otherwise, the `__repr__` will be used). ### `Not(val)` Returns `True` if the value is not equal to `val`. ### `In(*values)` Returns `True` if the value is contained in `values`. ### `NotIn(*values)` Returns `True` if the value is not contained in `values`. ## Check functions A number of check functions are provided out of the box. A check function takes a single parameter, the `value`, and either raises a `ValidationError` or returns nothing. ### `check_any(_)` A noop check function. ### `check_type(tp, typename=None)` Returns a check function to check for a specific type. Setting `typename` will replace the type's name in the error message. For example: ```python Required('key', check_type(int)) # 'Expected bytes' in both python2 and python3. Required('key', check_type(bytes, typename='bytes')) ``` Several type checking functions are provided out of the box: - `check_bool` - `check_bytes` - `check_int` - `check_string` - `check_text` ### `check_one_of(possible)` Returns a function that checks that the value is contained in `possible`. For example: ```python Required('language', check_one_of(('javascript', 'python', 'ruby'))) ``` ### `check_regex(v)` Ensures that `v` is a valid python regular expression. ### `check_array(inner_check)` Returns a function that checks that a value is a sequence and that each value in that sequence adheres to the `inner_check`. For example: ```python Required('args', check_array(check_string)) ``` ### `check_and(*fns)` Returns a function that performs multiple checks on a value. For example: ```python Required('language', check_and(check_string, my_check_language)) ```
