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)
  • approved_license: bool: won’t ask to approve the license again when doing an WoT action on the blockchain from this member account: certifying, renewing the membership, inviting a member account (v2)
  • …
[g1]
member_id = moul
wallets = <pubkey1>:<pubkey2>
endpoint = <hostmame>:<port>
alice = <pubkey>
approved_license = True/False

[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
