Base for Parameter providers

Functions

def clear_caches()

Clear cached parameter values from all providers

def get_transform_method(value: str, transform: TransformOptions = None)

Determine the transform method

Examples

>>> get_transform_method("key","any_other_value")
'any_other_value'
>>> get_transform_method("key.json","auto")
'json'
>>> get_transform_method("key.binary","auto")
'binary'
>>> get_transform_method("key","auto")
None
>>> get_transform_method("key",None)
None

Parameters

value : str

Only used when the transform is "auto".

transform : str, optional

Original transform method, only "auto" will try to detect the transform method by the key

Returns

Callable

Transform function could be json.loads, base64.b64decode, or a lambda that echo the str value

def transform_value(value: str | bytes | dict[str, Any], transform: TransformOptions, raise_on_transform_error: bool = True, key: str = '')

Transform a value using one of the available options.

Parameters

value : str

Parameter value to transform

transform : str

Type of transform, supported values are "json", "binary", and "auto" based on suffix (.json, .binary)

key : str

Parameter key when transform is auto to infer its transform method

raise_on_transform_error : bool, optional

Raises an exception if any transform fails, otherwise this will return a None value for each transform that failed

Raises

Transformparametererror

When the parameter value could not be transformed
