Configuration support

• $HOME/.config/silkaj/silkaj.cfg: currency specific configuration to be done in the hierarchy of the file

Formats

• toml: have a look: based on ini, but improved
• ini: poezio, BeetleBot
• json: duniter
• opml: pipenv
• yml

Toml is the best by far. tomllib is available from Py3.11. A replacement with similar API should be found for version < Py3.11

• configparser is available in stdlib and allow configuration management, the best so far, and was already used.

Configurations per currency

• member_id
• wallets
• endpoint: rather than default one
• contact aliases (correspondence between contact_id and a pubkey)
• …

[g1]
member_id = moul
wallets = <pubkey1>:<pubkey2>
endpoint = <hostmame>:<port>
alice = <pubkey>

[g1-test]
member_id = moul-test
wallets = <pubkey1>:<pubkey2>
endpoint = <hostname>:<port>
bob = <pubkey>

Command

silkaj config <attribute> <value>

Behaviours

• amount: sum-up member_id plus wallets’ amounts
• id and wot: if no arguments specified choose member_id
• endpoint: change endpoint
• diffi and issuers: highlight identity with ** or bold text
• [ ] cert: certifieur is member_id (Useless as authentication is mandatory and that this information is here)

Thoughts

• think about configuration not related to a currency, like:
  • language
• when the configuration file is red (at every silkaj launch), then Vim detect that the it as been modified and needs to overwritten.

Documentation

• document configuration file and behaviors
