:description: Configuration provides configuration options to the other providers. This page
demonstrates how to use Configuration provider to inject the dependencies, load
a configuration from an ini or yaml file, a dictionary, an environment variable,
or a pydantic settings object.
.. currentmodule:: dependency_injector.providers
:py:class:`Configuration` provider provides configuration options to the other providers.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration.py
:language: python
:emphasize-lines: 7,12-13

Loading from an INI file
------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from an ``ini`` file using the
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_ini` method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_ini.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 12
where ``examples/providers/configuration/config.ini`` is:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/config.ini
:language: ini
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_ini` method supports environment variables interpolation. Use
``${ENV_NAME}`` format in the configuration file to substitute value from ``ENV_NAME`` environment
variable.
You can also specify a default value using ``${ENV_NAME:default}`` format. If environment
variable ``ENV_NAME`` is undefined, configuration provider will substitute value ``default``.
.. code-block:: ini
[section]
option1 = {$ENV_VAR}
option2 = {$ENV_VAR}/path
option3 = {$ENV_VAR:default}
Loading from a YAML file
------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from a ``yaml`` file using the
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_yaml` method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_yaml.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 12
where ``examples/providers/configuration/config.yml`` is:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/config.yml
:language: ini
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_yaml` method supports environment variables interpolation. Use
``${ENV_NAME}`` format in the configuration file to substitute value from ``ENV_NAME`` environment
variable.
You can also specify a default value using ``${ENV_NAME:default}`` format. If environment
variable ``ENV_NAME`` is undefined, configuration provider will substitute value ``default``.
.. code-block:: ini
section:
option1: {$ENV_VAR}
option2: {$ENV_VAR}/path
option3: {$ENV_VAR:default}
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_yaml` method uses custom version of ``yaml.SafeLoader``.
To use another loader use ``loader`` argument:
.. code-block:: python
import yaml
container.config.from_yaml('config.yml', loader=yaml.UnsafeLoader)
.. note::
Loading of a yaml configuration requires ``PyYAML`` package.
You can install the ``Dependency Injector`` with an extra dependency::
pip install dependency-injector[yaml]
or install ``PyYAML`` directly::
pip install pyyaml
*Don't forget to mirror the changes in the requirements file.*
Loading from a Pydantic settings
--------------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from a ``pydantic`` settings object using the
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_pydantic` method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_pydantic.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 31
To get the data from pydantic settings ``Configuration`` provider calls ``Settings.dict()`` method.
If you need to pass an argument to this call, use ``.from_pydantic()`` keyword arguments.
.. code-block:: python
container.config.from_pydantic(Settings(), exclude={'optional'})
.. note::
``Dependency Injector`` doesn't install ``pydantic`` by default.
You can install the ``Dependency Injector`` with an extra dependency::
pip install dependency-injector[pydantic]
or install ``pydantic`` directly::
pip install pydantic
*Don't forget to mirror the changes in the requirements file.*
Loading from a dictionary
-------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from a Python ``dict`` using the
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_dict` method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_dict.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 12-19
Loading from an environment variable
------------------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from an environment variable using the
:py:meth:`Configuration.from_env` method:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_env.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 18-20
Loading from the multiple sources
---------------------------------
``Configuration`` provider can load configuration from the multiple sources. Loaded
configuration is merged recursively over the existing configuration.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_multiple.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 12-13
where ``examples/providers/configuration/config.local.yml`` is:
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/config.local.yml
:language: ini
Mandatory and optional sources
------------------------------
By default, methods ``.from_yaml()`` and ``.from_ini()`` ignore errors if configuration file does not exist.
You can use this to specify optional configuration files.
If configuration file is mandatory, use ``required`` argument. Configuration provider will raise an error
if required file does not exist.
You can also use ``required`` argument when loading configuration from dictionaries and environment variables.
Mandatory YAML file:
.. code-block:: python
container.config.from_yaml('config.yaml', required=True)
Mandatory INI file:
.. code-block:: python
container.config.from_ini('config.ini', required=True)
Mandatory dictionary:
.. code-block:: python
container.config.from_dict(config_dict, required=True)
Mandatory environment variable:
.. code-block:: python
container.config.api_key.from_env('API_KEY', required=True)
See also: :ref:`configuration-strict-mode`.
Specifying the value type
-------------------------
You can specify the type of the injected configuration value explicitly.
This helps when you read the value from an ini file or an environment variable and need to
convert it into an ``int`` or a ``float``.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_type.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 19
``Configuration`` provider has next helper methods:
- ``.as_int()``
- ``.as_float()``
- ``.as_(callback, *args, **kwargs)``
The last method ``.as_(callback, *args, **kwargs)`` helps to implement other conversions.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_type_custom.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 18
With the ``.as_(callback, *args, **kwargs)`` you can specify a function that will be called
before the injection. The value from the config will be passed as a first argument. The returned
value will be injected. Parameters ``*args`` and ``**kwargs`` are handled as any other injections.
.. _configuration-strict-mode:
Strict mode and required options
--------------------------------
You can use configuration provider in strict mode. In strict mode configuration provider raises an error
on access to any undefined option.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_strict.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 12
Methods ``.from_*()`` in strict mode raise an exception if configuration file does not exist or
configuration data is undefined:
.. code-block:: python
:emphasize-lines: 10,15,20,25,30
class Container(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
config = providers.Configuration(strict=True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
container = Container()
try:
container.config.from_yaml('does-not_exist.yml') # raise exception
except FileNotFoundError:
...
try:
container.config.from_ini('does-not_exist.ini') # raise exception
except FileNotFoundError:
...
try:
container.config.from_pydantic(EmptySettings()) # raise exception
except ValueError:
...
try:
container.config.from_env('UNDEFINED_ENV_VAR') # raise exception
except ValueError:
...
try:
container.config.from_dict({}) # raise exception
except ValueError:
...
You can override ``.from_*()`` methods behaviour in strict mode using ``required`` argument:
.. code-block:: python
class Container(containers.DeclarativeContainer):
config = providers.Configuration(strict=True)
if __name__ == '__main__':
container = Container()
container.config.from_yaml('config.yml')
container.config.from_yaml('config.local.yml', required=False)
You can also use ``.required()`` option modifier when making an injection. It does not require to switch
configuration provider to strict mode.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_required.py
:language: python
:lines: 11-20
:emphasize-lines: 8-9
.. note::
Modifier ``.required()`` should be specified before type modifier ``.as_*()``.
Aliases
-------
You can use ``Configuration`` provider with a context manager to create aliases.
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_alias.py
:language: python
:lines: 3-
:emphasize-lines: 14,22
.. note::
Library ``environs`` is a 3rd party library. You need to install it
separately::
pip install environs
Documentation is available on GitHub: https://github.com/sloria/environs
Injecting invariants
--------------------
You can inject invariant configuration options based on the value of the other configuration
option.
To use that you should provide the switch-value as an item of the configuration option that
contains sections ``config.options[config.switch]``:
- When the value of the ``config.switch`` is ``A``, the ``config.options.A`` is injected
- When the value of the ``config.switch`` is ``B``, the ``config.options.B`` is injected
.. literalinclude:: ../../examples/providers/configuration/configuration_itemselector.py
