# libconfig
|
||||
|
||||
libconfig is the unified configuration module for SERiF and related projects
|
||||
|
||||
This has been broken out of the main serif project to allow for more modularity
|
||||
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
In order to build libconfig you need `meson>=1.5.0`. This can be installed with `pip`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
pip install "meson>=1.5.0"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then from the root libconfig directory it is as simple as
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
meson setup build --buildtype=release
|
||||
meson compile -C build
|
||||
meson test -C build
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
this will auto generate a pkg-config file for you so that linking other libraries to libconfig is easy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
libconfig makes use of [reflect-cpp](https://github.com/getml/reflect-cpp) to provide compile time reflection
|
||||
and serialization/deserialization of configuration structs. This allows for config options to be defined in code
|
||||
and strongly typed.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
#include "fourdst/config/config.h"
|
||||
#include <string>
|
||||
#include <print>
|
||||
|
||||
struct MyPhysicsOptions {
|
||||
int gravity = 10;
|
||||
float friction = 0.5f;
|
||||
bool enable_wind = false;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
struct MyControlOptions {
|
||||
double time_step = 0.01;
|
||||
double max_time = 100.0;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
struct MySimulationConfig {
|
||||
std::string name = "my_simulation";
|
||||
MyPhysicsOptions physics;
|
||||
MyControlOptions control;
|
||||
};
|
||||
|
||||
int main() {
|
||||
fourdst::config::Config<MySimulationConfig> cfg;
|
||||
|
||||
// You can save the default config to a file
|
||||
cfg.save("default_config.toml");
|
||||
|
||||
// You can save the json schema for the config
|
||||
// This allows editors like VS Code to provide autocompletion
|
||||
fourdst::config::Config<MySimulationConfig>::save_schema("config.schema.json");
|
||||
|
||||
// You can load a config from a file
|
||||
try {
|
||||
cfg.load("my_config.toml");
|
||||
} catch (const fourdst::config::exceptions::ConfigError& e) {
|
||||
std::println("Error loading config: {}", e.what());
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// You can access the config values
|
||||
std::println("My Simulation Name: {}, My Simulation Gravity: {}", cfg->name, cfg->physics.gravity);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CLI Integration
|
||||
libconfig integrates with [CLI11](https://github.com/CLIUtils/CLI11) to automatically expose configuration fields as command-line arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
#include "CLI/CLI.hpp"
|
||||
#include "fourdst/config/config.h"
|
||||
|
||||
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
|
||||
fourdst::config::Config<MySimulationConfig> cfg;
|
||||
CLI::App app("My Application");
|
||||
|
||||
// Automatically registers:
|
||||
// --name
|
||||
// --physics.gravity
|
||||
// --physics.friction
|
||||
// --physics.enable_wind
|
||||
// ... and so on
|
||||
fourdst::config::register_as_cli(cfg, app);
|
||||
|
||||
CLI11_PARSE(app, argc, argv);
|
||||
|
||||
// cfg is now populated with values from CLI arguments
|
||||
return 0;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Example output TOML
|
||||
```toml
|
||||
[main]
|
||||
name = "my_simulation"
|
||||
[main.physics]
|
||||
gravity = 10
|
||||
friction = 0.5
|
||||
enable_wind = false
|
||||
[main.control]
|
||||
time_step = 0.01
|
||||
max_time = 100.0
|
||||
```
