VERSION

version 2.155

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Config::Model ;
use Data::Dumper ;
# define configuration tree object
my $model = Config::Model->new ;
$model ->create_config_class (
   name => "MyClass",
   element => [
       [qw/foo bar/] => {
           type => 'leaf',
           value_type => 'string'
       },
       baz => {
           type => 'hash',
           index_type => 'string' ,
           cargo => {
               type => 'leaf',
               value_type => 'string',
           },
       },
   ],
 rw_config  => {
    backend => 'cds_file' ,
    config_dir => '/tmp',
    file  => 'foo.pl',
    auto_create => 1,
 }
) ;
my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'MyClass' );
my $root = $inst->config_root ;
my $steps = 'foo=yada bar="bla bla" baz:en=hello
            baz:fr=bonjour baz:hr="dobar dan"';
$root->load( steps => $steps ) ;
$inst->write_back ;
            
          

Now, /tmp/foo.pl contains:

            

              
              
{
  bar => 'bla bla',
  baz => {
    en => 'hello',
    fr => 'bonjour',
    hr => 'dobar dan'
  },
  foo => 'yada'
}
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a configuration tree written with Cds syntax in Config::Model configuration tree.

Note:

• Undefined values are skipped for list element. I.e. if a list element contains ('a',undef,'b'), the data structure contains 'a','b'.

• Cds file is not created (and may be deleted) when no data is to be written.

backend parameter

config_dir

Mandoatory parameter to specify where is the Cds configuration file.
