Detailed Description

A configuration field (`~lsst.pex.config.Field` subclass) that takes a
`~lsst.pex.config.Config`-type as a value.

Parameters
----------
doc : `str`
    A description of the configuration field.
dtype : `lsst.pex.config.Config`-type
    The type of the field, which must be a subclass of
    `lsst.pex.config.Config`.
default : `lsst.pex.config.Config`, optional
    If default is `None`, the field will default to a default-constructed
    instance of ``dtype``. Additionally, to allow for fewer deep-copies,
    assigning an instance of ``ConfigField`` to ``dtype`` itself, is
    considered equivalent to assigning a default-constructed sub-config.
    This means that the argument default can be ``dtype``, as well as an
    instance of ``dtype``.
check : callable, optional
    A callback function that validates the field's value, returning `True`
    if the value is valid, and `False` otherwise.

Notes
-----
The behavior of this type of field is much like that of the base `Field`
type.

Assigning to ``ConfigField`` will update all of the fields in the
configuration.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __init__()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.__init__ (   self,
  doc,
  dtype,
  default = None,
  check = None 
)

Definition at line 73 of file configField.py.

Member Function Documentation

◆ __delete__()

def lsst.pex.config.config.Field.__delete__ (   self,
  instance,
  at = None,
  label = 'deletion' 
)
inherited
Delete an attribute from a `lsst.pex.config.Config` instance.

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.
at : `list` of `lsst.pex.config.callStack.StackFrame`
    The call stack (created by
    `lsst.pex.config.callStack.getCallStack`).
label : `str`, optional
    Event label for the history.

Notes
-----
This is invoked by the owning `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object and
should not be called directly.

Definition at line 551 of file config.py.

◆ __get__() [1/2]

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.__get__ (   self,
  instance,
  owner = None 
)

Definition at line 83 of file configField.py.

◆ __get__() [2/2]

def lsst.pex.config.config.Field.__get__ (   self,
  instance,
  owner = None,
  at = None,
  label = "default" 
)
inherited
Define how attribute access should occur on the Config instance
This is invoked by the owning config object and should not be called
directly

When the field attribute is accessed on a Config class object, it
returns the field object itself in order to allow inspection of
Config classes.

When the field attribute is access on a config instance, the actual
value described by the field (and held by the Config instance) is
returned.

Definition at line 476 of file config.py.

◆ __set__()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.__set__ (   self,
  instance,
  value,
  at = None,
  label = "assignment" 
)

Definition at line 94 of file configField.py.

◆ freeze()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.freeze (   self,
  instance 
)
Make this field read-only.

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.

Notes
-----
Freezing is only relevant for fields that hold subconfigs. Fields which
hold subconfigs should freeze each subconfig.

**Subclasses should implement this method.**

Definition at line 173 of file configField.py.

◆ rename()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.rename (   self,
  instance 
)
Rename the field in a `~lsst.pex.config.Config` (for internal use
only).

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.

Notes
-----
This method is invoked by the `lsst.pex.config.Config` object that
contains this field and should not be called directly.

Renaming is only relevant for `~lsst.pex.config.Field` instances that
hold subconfigs. `~lsst.pex.config.Fields` that hold subconfigs should
rename each subconfig with the full field name as generated by
`lsst.pex.config.config._joinNamePath`.

Definition at line 122 of file configField.py.

◆ save()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.save (   self,
  outfile,
  instance 
)
Save this field to a file (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
outfile : file-like object
    A writeable field handle.
instance : `Config`
    The `Config` instance that contains this field.

Notes
-----
This method is invoked by the `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object that
contains this field and should not be called directly.

The output consists of the documentation string
(`lsst.pex.config.Field.doc`) formatted as a Python comment. The second
line is formatted as an assignment: ``{fullname}={value}``.

This output can be executed with Python.

Definition at line 149 of file configField.py.

◆ toDict()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.toDict (   self,
  instance 
)
Convert the field value so that it can be set as the value of an
item in a `dict` (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
instance : `Config`
    The `Config` that contains this field.

Returns
-------
value : object
    The field's value. See *Notes*.

Notes
-----
This method invoked by the owning `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object and
should not be called directly.

Simple values are passed through. Complex data structures must be
manipulated. For example, a `~lsst.pex.config.Field` holding a
subconfig should, instead of the subconfig object, return a `dict`
where the keys are the field names in the subconfig, and the values are
the field values in the subconfig.

Definition at line 191 of file configField.py.

◆ validate()

def lsst.pex.config.configField.ConfigField.validate (   self,
  instance 
)
Validate the field (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.

Raises
------
lsst.pex.config.FieldValidationError
    Raised if verification fails.

Notes
-----
This method provides basic validation:

- Ensures that the value is not `None` if the field is not optional.
- Ensures type correctness.
- Ensures that the user-provided ``check`` function is valid.

Most `~lsst.pex.config.Field` subclasses should call
`lsst.pex.config.field.Field.validate` if they re-implement
`~lsst.pex.config.field.Field.validate`.
