Inheritance diagram for xtd::configuration::settings:
xtd::object

Definition

Represent settings associate to the application.

Header
#include <xtd/configuration/settings>
Namespace
xtd
Library
xtd.core
Remarks
The basic settings path can be obtained with the command : xtd::environment::get_know_folder_path(xtd::environment::special_folder::application_data);.
On Windows settings are stored in /Users/($USER)/AppData/Roaming/company_name/product_name.ini file.
On macos settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/company_name/product_name Preferences file.
On linux settings are stored in ~/.consig/company_name/product_name.conf file.
The product_name is equal to the xtd::reflection::assembly::product() property of the xtd::reflection::assembly::get_executing_assembly() assembly if not empty; otherwise is equal to the filename of the first arguemnt of main.
The company_name is equal to the xtd::reflection::assembly::company() property of the xtd::reflection::assembly::get_executing_assembly() assembly if not empty; otherwise is equal to product_name.

◆ settings()

xtd::configuration::settings::settings ( )

Initializes a new instance of settings class.

Member Function Documentation

◆ file_path()

const xtd::string & xtd::configuration::settings::file_path ( ) const
noexcept

Gets the file path of the application settings.

Returns
The file path of the application settings.
Remarks
The basic settings path can be obtained with the command : xtd::environment::get_know_folder_path(xtd::environment::special_folder::application_data);.
On Windows settings are stored in /Users/($USER)/AppData/Roaming/company_name/product_name.ini file.
On macos settings are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/company_name/product_name Preferences file.
On linux settings are stored in ~/.consig/company_name/product_name.conf file.
The product_name is equal to the xtd::reflection::assembly::product() property of the xtd::reflection::assembly::get_executing_assembly() assembly if not empty; otherwise is equal to the filename of the first arguemnt of main.
The company_name is equal to the xtd::reflection::assembly::company() property of the xtd::reflection::assembly::get_executing_assembly() assembly if not empty; otherwise is equal to product_name.
Warning
Don't manipulate the file yourself, otherwise the expected result may be undefined.

◆ read() [1/2]

xtd::string xtd::configuration::settings::read ( const xtd::string &  key,
const xtd::string &  default_value 
)

Reads a value for specified key. If not found default value is used.

Parameters
keyThe key used to read a value.
default_valueA string used if value not found.
Returns
A string that represent the value associate to the key.
Examples

template<typename type_t >
type_t xtd::configuration::settings::read ( const xtd::string &  key,
const type_t &  default_value 
)
inline

Reads a value for specified key. If not found default value is used.

Template Parameters
type_tThe type of value to read.
Parameters
keyThe key used to read a value.
default_valueA string used if value not found.
Returns
A type_t that represent the value associate to the key.

◆ reset()

void xtd::configuration::settings::reset ( )

Remarks
The settings are cleared and the application settings file is removed.
To write permanently use the xtd::configuration::settings::save method.
Examples
application_settings_without_cmake_setting_commands.cpp.

◆ save()

void xtd::configuration::settings::save ( )

Save application settings.

Remarks
The settings are saved in the application settings file.
Examples
application_settings_without_cmake_setting_commands.cpp.

void xtd::configuration::settings::write ( const xtd::string &  key,
const xtd::string &  value 
)

Writes a specified value for specified key.

Parameters
keyThe key used to write a value.
valueA string to write.
Remarks
To write permanently use the xtd::configuration::settings::save method.
Examples
application_settings_without_cmake_setting_commands.cpp.

◆ write() [2/2]

template<typename type_t >
void xtd::configuration::settings::write ( const xtd::string &  key,
type_t &&  value 
)
inline
