Changelog#

23.0.0 (YYYY-MM-DD)#

  • 🗑 This is the last version that supports Python 3.7.

  • 📦 Switch to CalVer with scheme YY.MINOR.MICRO (same as pip, attrs and cattrs).

  • ✨ Add settings (post) processors. They allow modifying loaded settings before they are passed to your app. This allows, e.g., using settings templates/interpolation or loading secrets from external resources via helper scripts. (See #19)

  • ✨ Add a 1Password loader and a op:// resource handler for the new URL processor (see #19).

  • ♻️ Make dict_utils part of the public API.

2.0.2 (2023-01-18)#

  • 🐛 Fixed #29: Do not modify attrs metadata when creating CLI options. The metadata dict is now copied before popping items from it.

2.0.1 (2023-01-14)#

  • 🐛 Fixed #26: Typing error with Pyright/VSCode.

  • 📝 Improve documentation for custom Click flags (see #28).

2.0.0 (2022-11-30)#

  • 💥 The click_utils.TypeHandler is now called cli_utils.TypeArgsMaker and has a completely different interface. If you do not explicitly use this class, nothing will change for you.

  • 💥 Remove bundled attrs validators. They are now in attrs.validators (see #17).

  • ✨ Click options: Support optional types (See #22).

  • ✨ Click options: Support dicts (e.g., --env VAR1=val1 --env VAR=val2).

  • ✨ Add support for Argparse based CLIs via typed_settings.cli() (See #14).

  • ✨ Add wrappers for secrets (SecretStr and Secret) that mask their values when they are printed/logged.

  • ✨ Add mypy plugin for our attrs extensions.

  • 📝 The guides for core functionality now contain a section about writing settings classes and handling secrets.

1.1.1 (2022-10-08)#

  • ✨ Add support for cattrs 22.2 which renamed the main converter classes. The older version 22.1 remains supported, too.

1.1.0 (2022-07-09)#

This release mainly focuses on improving the integration with Click, especially if you want to use command groups or write extensible applications like Pytest.

  • 💥 Settings values that are dictionaries are no longer merged when they are provided by different settings sources. They override each other now as other scalar and container types do.

  • ✨ Support Python 3.11

  • ✨ Improve Click option generation:

    • Add support for dict options to click_options() (e.g., --env PWD_FILE=/pwd --env DEBUG=1) (See #5).

    • Allow overriding param decls and parameters for Click options (See #15).

    • You can configure the argument name of your settings in the CLI function. This allows you to use different settings in nested click commands (See #15).

    • Add support for Click option groups (See !6).

    • Add combine() function to merge multiple settings (e.g., from plug-ins) with a base class.

  • 📝 Impove and extend the docs’ examples section.

  • 📝 Extend the guides and split them into multiple pages.

  • ♻️ Replace toml with tomli for Python <= 3.10.

  • ♻️ Use tomllib on Python 3.11 and do not depend on tomli.

  • ♻️ Require cattrs >= 22.1.0.

  • ✅ Increase test coverage to 100% (and enforce it).

1.0.1 (2022-04-04)#

  • 🗑 Deprecate the bundled attrs validators. They are now part of attrs.validators.

  • 🐛 Fixed #16: Support new (c)attrs namespaces. attrs 21.3 and cattrs 1.10 are now required.

  • 🐛 Bug fix

  • ✅ Adjust tests for Click 8.1

1.0.0 (2022-03-04)#

  • 🎉 First stable release!

  • 💥 Change Loader and FileFormat protocols to use __call__(). This allows “normal” functions to be used as loaders, too.

  • 💥 Pass the settings class to loaders (in addition to the list of OptionInfos).

  • 💥 Enums are only converted from member name, not by value.

  • ✨ Add evolve() function for recursively updading settings.

  • ✨ Add InstanceLoader which loads settings from an existing instance of the settings class.

  • ✨ click_options() accepts just an appname and than works similar to load(). The old behavior (which is comparable to load_settings() still exists.

  • ✨ The strlisthook with : as separator is now activated by default. It helps loading lists from environment variables.

  • 🐛 Fixed #10: Fix handling tuples and sets in strlist hook.

  • 🐛 Fixed #11: Properly convert loaded values to click default values.

  • ♻️ The attrs auto-convert hook now uses a Cattrs converter instead of custom conversion logic.

  • ✅ Increase test coverage to 100% again.

  • ✅ Migrate to pytest7.

  • 📝 Write “Guides” section of the docs.

  • 📝 Update “Getting Started” section of the docs.

  • 📝 Update “Why” section of the docs.

  • 📝 Try MyST (Markdown) but switch back to ReST (only for now, MyST looks very promising).

0.11.1 (2021-10-03)#

  • 🐛 Allow using instances of nested attrs/settings classes as default values for options again. Fixes a regression introduced by switching to cattrs.

0.11.0 (2021-10-02)#

  • 💥 Use cattrs instead of attrs auto-convert hooks. This makes converters more robust and easier to extend.

  • 💥 The signature of load_settings() has changed. load() is now the pre-configured convenience loader while load_settings() allows full customization of all settings loaders and value converters.

  • ✨ Loaders can now be extended by users. Typed settings bundles a file loader and an environment loader. New loaders must implement the Loader protocol.

  • ✨ The file loader can be extended to support additional file formats. File loaders must implement the FileFormat protocol.

  • ✨ Add experimental support for Python config files.

  • ✨ Environment variables can now contain list values. Theses lists can eitehr be JSON or simple {separator} spearted lists (the separator can be configured, e.g., : or ,).

  • 🗑 The attrs specific converters and hooks are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

0.10.0 (2021-06-23)#

  • 💥 Settings classes are now mutable by default. This makes especially testing and monkeypatching a lot easier. Since settings classes are normal attrs classes, you can make your settings immutable again by passing frozen=True to the class decorator.

  • ✨ load() is now the new main function for loading settings. It has the same signature as load_settings() (See: #8).

  • ✨ find() searches for a given config file from the current working dir upwards.

  • ✨ The to_bool() converter converts bools from addional values.

  • 🗑 The signature of load_settings() will change in a backwar sincompatible way in the next release. Please use load() instead (See: #8).

  • 🐍 Add support for Python 3.10.

  • 🏗 Add support for click 8.

0.9.2 (2021-02-10)#

0.9.1 (2020-12-01)#

  • 🐛 Fixed #6: Properly handle attrs default factories in options.

0.9 (2020-11-29)#

  • 💥 A ValueError is now raised when a config file contains invalid options.

  • 💥 Click options without a default (or loaded value) are now marked as required=True.

  • ✨ Click options support more types (datetimes, lists, tuples, …)

    • List like types use multiple=True

    • Tuple uses nargs=X

    Click types can also be exteded by users now.

  • ✨ Options can specify a help string for Click options via the click_help parameter.

  • ✨ Improve handling of container types (like set) in the attrs auto-converter.

  • 🐛 Fix bug that prevented nested settings classes from automatically being instantiated when no settings for them were loaded.

0.4 (2020-09-25)#

  • ✨ Add convenience wrappers for attrs:

    • settings is an alias for attr.frozen

    • option is an alias for attr.field

    • secret is an alias for attr.field and masks the options’s value with *** when the settings classes is printed.

  • ✨ Add update_settings() method which is useful for overriding settings in tests.

  • ✨ Mandatory config files can be prefixed with ! (e.g., !./credentials.toml). An error is raised if a mandatory config file does not exist.
