# Class LocalConfig

source code

             |
            LocalConfig

Class representing this extension's configuration document.

This is not a general-purpose configuration object like the main Cedar Backup configuration object. Instead, it just knows how to parse and emit split-specific configuration values. Third parties who need to read and write configuration related to this extension should access it through the constructor, `validate` and `addConfig` methods.

Note: Lists within this class are "unordered" for equality comparisons.

### __init__(self, xmlData=None, xmlPath=None, validate=True) (Constructor) | source code
Initializes a configuration object. If you initialize the object without passing either `xmlData` or `xmlPath` then configuration will be empty and will be invalid until it is filled in properly. No reference to the original XML data or original path is saved off by this class. Once the data has been parsed (successfully or not) this original information is discarded. Unless the `validate` argument is `False`, the LocalConfig.validate method will be called (with its default arguments) against configuration after successfully parsing any passed-in XML. Keep in mind that even if `validate` is `False`, it might not be possible to parse the passed-in XML document if lower-level validations fail. Parameters: `xmlData` (String data.) - XML data representing configuration. `xmlPath` (Absolute path to a file on disk.) - Path to an XML file on disk. `validate` (Boolean true/false.) - Validate the document after parsing it. Raises: `ValueError` - If both `xmlData` and `xmlPath` are passed-in. `ValueError` - If the XML data in `xmlData` or `xmlPath` cannot be parsed. `ValueError` - If the parsed configuration document is not valid. Overrides: object.__init__ Note: It is strongly suggested that the `validate` option always be set to `True` (the default) unless there is a specific need to read in invalid configuration from disk.

### __repr__(self) (Representation operator) | source code
Official string representation for class instance. Overrides: object.__repr__

### __str__(self) (Informal representation operator) | source code
Informal string representation for class instance. Overrides: object.__str__

### __cmp__(self, other) (Comparison operator) | source code
Definition of equals operator for this class. Lists within this class are "unordered" for equality comparisons. Parameters: `other` - Other object to compare to. Returns: -1/0/1 depending on whether self is `<`, `=` or `>` other.

### validate(self) | source code
Validates configuration represented by the object. Split configuration must be filled in. Within that, both the size limit and split size must be filled in. Raises: `ValueError` - If one of the validations fails.

### addConfig(self, xmlDom, parentNode) | source code
Adds a <split> configuration section as the next child of a parent. Third parties should use this function to write configuration related to this extension. We add the following fields to the document:
      sizeLimit      //cb_config/split/size_limit
      splitSize      //cb_config/split/split_size
Parameters: `xmlDom` - DOM tree as from `impl.createDocument()`. `parentNode` - Parent that the section should be appended to.

### _setSplit(self, value) | source code
Property target used to set the split configuration value. If not `None`, the value must be a `SplitConfig` object. Raises: `ValueError` - If the value is not a `SplitConfig`

### _parseXmlData(self, xmlData) | source code
Internal method to parse an XML string into the object. This method parses the XML document into a DOM tree (`xmlDom`) and then calls a static method to parse the split configuration section. Parameters: `xmlData` (String data) - XML data to be parsed Raises: `ValueError` - If the XML cannot be successfully parsed.

### _parseSplit(parent) Static Method | source code
Parses an split configuration section. We read the following individual fields:
      sizeLimit      //cb_config/split/size_limit
      splitSize      //cb_config/split/split_size
Parameters: `parent` - Parent node to search beneath. Returns: `EncryptConfig` object or `None` if the section does not exist. Raises: `ValueError` - If some filled-in value is invalid.
