YAML Generator Module

The YAML Generator provides functions for building the skelebot.yaml from a Config object and loading a Config object from a skelebot.yaml file as well. It also provides functions for saving and loading the VERSION file separately.

---

Import

from skelebot.systems.generators import yaml

loadConfig(env=None)

return Config

PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
env	String	The String name of the selected Skelebot environment that should be loaded

The loadConfig function will parse the skelebot.yaml file into a Config object along with the
version number from the VERSION file. If an environment name is specified with the 'env' parameter,
it will attempt to locate the corresponding override yaml file (skelebot-{env}.yaml) and use the
data inside to override the properties from the base file.

saveConfig(config)

return None

PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
config	Config	The Config object representing the project configuration to be saved to a file

The saveConfig function will convert the Config object to a Dict based on each object's toDict
implementation and then persist the resulting Dict object to the skelebot.yaml file along with the
associated version number to the VERSION file.

loadVersion()

return String

This function will return the version number String from the VERSION file inside the project.

loadVersion(version)

return None

PARAMETER	TYPE	DESCRIPTION
version	String	The string representation of the semantic version number to be saved to the VERSION file

This function will persist the given version number String to the VERSION file for the project.
