Changelog#

24.2.0 (2024-03-12)#

  • ✨ Allow passing a custom Jinja Environment to JinjaProcessor. This lets the library use custom Jinja functions, filters, etc. (!32)

  • πŸ› Fix handling of built-in collection types in Pydantic classes #50.

  • πŸ› Fix handling of NewType types #52.

24.1.0 (2024-02-24)#

  • ✨ Allow specifying an env nested delimiter. This is the string used for concatenating the attribute names of nested classes when creating env. var. names. It defaults to "_". (!31)

24.0.1 (2024-02-15)#

  • πŸ› Fix a bug with Pydantic SecretStr in Click options #49.

24.0.0 (2024-01-17)#

  • ✨ For Pydantic classes, read the CLI option’s help from the field’s desription if the field’s metadata does not contain a help key #45.

  • ✨ Settings can now be loaded from the top level of a TOML and Python file. This is only exposed by the loaders themselves, but not the simple load() API, though #36.

  • ✨ Added support for Pydantic SecretStr and SecretBytes fields in settings #46.

  • πŸ› The env var prefix for app names containing a - is now derived like this: a-b => A_B_ (previously it was A-B_) !27.

23.1.1 (2023-11-10)#

  • πŸ› Don’t require click when typed_settings.secret() is used (#44)

23.1.0 (2023-10-30)#

Changed#

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Dropped support for Python 3.7.

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Refactor internal handling of loaded option values.

    This will affect you if you have created a custom loader or processor, or if you rely on internal functionality. Otherwise, you should be fine.

    Every loader now stores some meta data with the settings it loaded. This meta data can, for example, be used to resolve relative paths in option values relative to the config file from which they were loaded.

    You can re-enable the old behavior by explicitly using the converter returned by default_converter(resolve_paths=False).

    This also improves error messages for when one or more option values cannot be converted to the desired type.

    See #20, #30, !16

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Relative paths are now always resolved relative to the source they are loaded from. This is either the parent directory of a config file or the current working directory (#30).

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: The signature of argparse_utils’ make_parser() and namespace2settings() function changed. They now return and take the merged settings. The Signature of cli() remains unchanged. See #41.

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: The deprecated typed_settings.attrs.hooks module has been removed.

  • πŸ—‘ The modules typed_settings.argparse_utils, typed_settings.ckick_utils, and typed_settings.attrs are deprecated and are now aliases of the renamed typed_settings.cli_argparse, typed_settings.cli_click, and typed_settings.cls_attrs. They will be removed in the next release.

  • πŸ—‘ The module typed_settings.attrs is deprecated and is now an alias for typed_settings.cls_attrs. It will be removed in the next release.

  • ✨ Added support dataclasses and Pydantic models as alternative to attrs (which is still the recommended backend).

  • ✨ attrs is now an optional (but recommended) dependency. You can install it with python -m pip install -U typed-settings[attrs].

  • ✨ Added a built-in TSConverter as an alternative for cattrs (which is still supported and recommended).

  • ✨ cattrs is now an optional dependency. You can install it with python -m pip install -U typed-settings[cattrs].

  • ✨ Typed Settings now has no mandatory dependencies on Python >= 3.11. On older versions, tomli is the only requirement. There is also an official way to to vendor Typed Settings (i.e., to bundle it with your application).

  • ✨ Added a dictionary loader. This is useful for testing purposes.

  • ✨ Added start_dir parameter to find().

  • ✨ Officially support Python 3.12.

  • πŸ“ Split guides into smaller pages

  • πŸ“ Converted docs from ReST to Markdown/MyST and use Sybil to test all examples.

  • πŸ“¦ Switched from safety to pip-audit.

  • πŸ› Fixed typing issues with Pylance/Pyright and attrs decorators (see #40)

23.0.0 (2023-03-07)#

Deprecated#

  • πŸ—‘ The next regular release (23.1.0) will drop support for Python 3.7.

  • πŸ—‘ The next regular release (23.1.0) will introduce breaking changes to the converter API and settings dict. See !16 for details and for feedback.

    Your code will break when:

    • You extend the default converter or pass in your own

    • You have written custom loaders

Changed#

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

  • πŸ“¦ Switch to ruff as linter.

  • ♻️ Make dict_utils part of the public API.

  • ♻️ Make optional imports in typed_settings more IDE friendly (see !14).

  • πŸ“ Start using Sybil for doctests and examples.

  • πŸ“ Fixed spelling and grammatical mistakes.

Added#

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.

Changed#

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: 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.

  • ♻️ 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.

    • 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.

1.0.1 (2022-04-04)#

1.0.0 (2022-03-04)#

  • πŸŽ‰ First stable release!

Changed#

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Change Loader and FileFormat protocols to use __call__(). This allows β€œnormal” functions to be used as loaders, too.

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Pass the settings class to loaders (in addition to the list of OptionInfos).

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Enums are only converted from member name, not by value.

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

  • βœ… Increase test coverage to 100% again.

  • βœ… Migrate to pytest7.

  • πŸ“ Update β€œGetting Started” section of the docs.

  • πŸ“ Update β€œWhy” section of the docs.

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

Added#

  • ✨ 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 then 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#

  • πŸ› Fixed #10: Fix handling tuples and sets in strlist hook.

  • πŸ› Fixed #11: Properly convert loaded values to click default values.

0.11.1 (2021-10-03)#

Fixed#

  • πŸ› 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)#

Deprecated#

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

Changed#

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: Use cattrs instead of attrs auto-convert hooks. This makes converters more robust and easier to extend.

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: 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.

Added#

  • ✨ 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 ,).

0.10.0 (2021-06-23)#

Deprecated#

  • πŸ—‘ The signature of load_settings() will change in a backwars incompatible way in the next release.

Changed#

  • πŸ’₯ BREAKING: 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.

  • 🐍 Add support for Python 3.10.

  • πŸ— Add support for click 8.

Added#

  • ✨ 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.
