# Confection: The sweetest config system for Python
`confection` :candy: is a lightweight library that offers a **configuration
system** letting you conveniently describe arbitrary trees of objects.
Configuration is a huge challenge for machine-learning code because you may want
to expose almost any detail of any function as a hyperparameter. The setting you
want to expose might be arbitrarily far down in your call stack, so it might
need to pass all the way through the CLI or REST API, through any number of
intermediate functions, affecting the interface of everything along the way. And
then once those settings are added, they become hard to remove later. Default
values also become hard to change without breaking backwards compatibility.
To solve this problem, `confection` offers a config system that lets you easily
describe arbitrary trees of objects. The objects can be created via function
calls you register using a simple decorator syntax. You can even version the
functions you create, allowing you to make improvements without breaking
backwards compatibility. The most similar config system were aware of is
[Gin](https://github.com/google/gin-config), which uses a similar syntax, and
also allows you to link the configuration system to functions in your code using
a decorator. `confection`'s config system is simpler and emphasizes a different
workflow via a subset of Gins functionality.

## ⏳ Installation
```bash
pip install confection
```
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge confection
```
## 👩‍💻 Usage
The configuration system parses a `.cfg` file like
```ini
[training]
patience = 10
dropout = 0.2
use_vectors = false
[training.logging]
level = "INFO"
[nlp]
# This uses the value of training.use_vectors
use_vectors = ${training.use_vectors}
lang = "en"
```
and resolves it to a `Dict`:
```json
{
"training": {
"patience": 10,
"dropout": 0.2,
"use_vectors": false,
"logging": {
"level": "INFO"
}
},
"nlp": {
"use_vectors": false,
"lang": "en"
}
}
```
The config is divided into sections, with the section name in square brackets
for example, `[training]`. Within the sections, config values can be assigned to
keys using `=`. Values can also be referenced from other sections using the dot
notation and placeholders indicated by the dollar sign and curly braces. For
example, `${training.use_vectors}` will receive the value of use_vectors in the
training block. This is useful for settings that are shared across components.
The config format has three main differences from Pythons built-in
`configparser`:
1. JSON-formatted values. `confection` passes all values through `json.loads` to
interpret them. You can use atomic values like strings, floats, integers or
booleans, or you can use complex objects such as lists or maps.
2. Structured sections. `confection` uses a dot notation to build nested
sections. If you have a section named `[section.subsection]`, `confection`
will parse that into a nested structure, placing subsection within section.
3. References to registry functions. If a key starts with `@`, `confection` will
interpret its value as the name of a function registry, load the function
registered for that name and pass in the rest of the block as arguments. If
type hints are available on the function, the argument values (and return
value of the function) will be validated against them. This lets you express
complex configurations, like a training pipeline where `batch_size` is
populated by a function that yields floats.
Theres no pre-defined scheme you have to follow; how you set up the top-level
sections is up to you. At the end of it, youll receive a dictionary with the
values that you can use in your script whether its complete initialized
functions, or just basic settings.
For instance, lets say you want to define a new optimizer. You'd define its
arguments in `config.cfg` like so:
```ini
[optimizer]
@optimizers = "my_cool_optimizer.v1"
learn_rate = 0.001
gamma = 1e-8
```
To load and parse this configuration using a `catalogue` registry (install
[`catalogue`](https://github.com/explosion/catalogue) separately):
```python
import dataclasses
from typing import Union, Iterable
import catalogue
from confection import registry, Config
# Create a new registry.
registry.optimizers = catalogue.create("confection", "optimizers", entry_points=False)
# Define a dummy optimizer class.
@dataclasses.dataclass
class MyCoolOptimizer:
learn_rate: float
gamma: float
@registry.optimizers.register("my_cool_optimizer.v1")
def make_my_optimizer(learn_rate: Union[float, Iterable[float]], gamma: float):
return MyCoolOptimizer(learn_rate, gamma)
# Load the config file from disk, resolve it and fetch the instantiated optimizer object.
config = Config().from_disk("./config.cfg")
resolved = registry.resolve(config)
optimizer = resolved["optimizer"] # MyCoolOptimizer(learn_rate=0.001, gamma=1e-08)
```
> ⚠️ Caution: Type-checkers such as `mypy` will mark adding new attributes to `registry` this way - i. e.
> `registry.new_attr = ...` - as errors. This is because a new attribute is added to the class after initialization. If
> you are using typecheckers, you can either ignore this (e. g. with `# type: ignore` for `mypy`) or use a typesafe
> alternative: instead of `registry.new_attr = ...`, use `setattr(registry, "new_attr", ...)`.
Under the hood, `confection` will look up the `"my_cool_optimizer.v1"` function
in the "optimizers" registry and then call it with the arguments `learn_rate`
and `gamma`. If the function has type annotations, it will also validate the
input. For instance, if `learn_rate` is annotated as a float and the config
defines a string, `confection` will raise an error.

This class holds the model and training
[configuration](https://thinc.ai/docs/usage-config) and can load and save the
INI-style configuration format from/to a string, file or bytes. The `Config`
class is a subclass of `dict` and uses Pythons `ConfigParser` under the hood.

##### <sup><kbd>method</kbd> `Config.merge`</sup>
Deep-merge two config objects, using the current config as the default. Only
merges sections and dictionaries and not other values like lists. Values that
are provided in the updates are overwritten in the base config, and any new
values or sections are added. If a config value is a variable like
`${section.key}` (e.g. if the config was loaded with `interpolate=False)`, **the
variable is preferred**, even if the updates provide a different value. This
ensures that variable references arent destroyed by a merge.
> :warning: Note that blocks that refer to registered functions using the `@`
> syntax are only merged if they are referring to the same functions. Otherwise,
> merging could easily produce invalid configs, since different functions can
> take different arguments. If a block refers to a different function, its
> overwritten.
```python
from confection import Config
base_config_str = """
[training]
patience = 10
dropout = 0.2
"""
update_config_str = """
[training]
dropout = 0.1
max_epochs = 2000
"""
base_config = Config().from_str(base_config_str)
update_config = Config().from_str(update_config_str)
merged = Config(base_config).merge(update_config)
print(merged["training"]) # {'patience': 10, 'dropout': 0.1, 'max_epochs': 2000}
```
| Argument | Type | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `overrides` | `Union[Dict[str, Any], Config]` | The updates to merge into the config. |
| **RETURNS** | `Config` | A new config instance containing the merged config. |
### Config Attributes
