Configuration

Overview

The Config class in srt-core provides a robust system for loading and managing configurations from YAML files and environment variables. It supports default values, error handling, and dynamic configuration reloading, making it a powerful tool for managing application settings.

Usage

Here is an example of how to use the Config class in your project:

from srt_core.config import Config

# Initialize the config
config = Config()

# Access configuration variables
print(config.server_name)
print(config.default_llm_name)
print(config.openai_compatible_api_key)
print(config.huggingface_api_key)

Configuration File

Ensure you have a config.yaml file in the root of your project. This file contains the necessary configuration options for your application. You can find an example configuration file in config-example.yaml.

Example config.yaml

# config.yaml
schema_version: 1

Config Class Features

The Config class includes the following features:

  1. Dynamic Configuration Loading: Load configuration settings from a YAML file.
  2. Environment-Based Configuration: Override or supplement configuration settings using environment variables.
  3. Default Values: Provide default values for configuration options to ensure robustness.
  4. Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully when configuration files or keys are missing.
  5. Convenient Access: Access configuration values easily through class attributes.

Example Usage in a Project

from srt_core.config import Config

# Initialize the config
config = Config()

# Access various configuration variables
print(config.server_name)  # Outputs the server name
print(config.default_llm_name)  # Outputs the default LLM name
print(config.openai_compatible_api_key)  # Outputs the OpenAI compatible API key
print(config.huggingface_api_key)  # Outputs the HuggingFace API key

Additional Configuration Methods

The Config class also includes additional methods for more advanced configuration management:

  • get_first_existing_value(keys, default_value): Retrieve the first existing value from a list of keys.
  • load_llm_settings(llm_name): Load settings for a specific language model.
  • set_llm_attributes(llm_prefix, llm_settings): Set attributes for a language model.
  • load_provider_settings(): Load provider-specific settings.
  • load_embeddings_llm(): Load embeddings LLM settings.
  • load_tools_config(): Load configuration settings for agent tools.
  • load_persona_settings(): Load persona-specific settings.
