----
-
-RBCli supports both local and remote state storage. This is done by synchronizing a Hash with either the local disk or a remote database.
-
-## Local State
-
-RBCli's local state storage gives you access to a hash that is automatically persisted to disk when changes are made.
-
-### Configuration
-
-You can configure it in `config/storage.rb`.
-
-```ruby
-local_state '/var/mytool/localstate', force_creation: true, halt_on_error: true
-```
-
-There are three parameters to configure it with:
-
-* The `path` as a string (self-explanatory)
-* `force_creation`
-	* This will attempt to create the path and file if it does not exist (equivalent to an `mkdir -p` and `touch` in linux)
-* `halt_on_error`
-	* RBCli's default behavior is to raise an exception if the file can not be created, read, or updated at any point in time
-	* If this is set to `false`, RBCli will silence any errors pertaining to file access and will fall back to whatever data is available. Note that if this is enabled, changes made to the state may not be persisted to disk.
-		* If creation fails and file does not exist, you start with an empty hash
-		* If file exists but can't be read, you will have an empty hash
-		* If file can be read but not written, the hash will be populated with the data. Writes will be stored in memory while the application is running, but will not be persisted to disk.
-
-
-### Access and Usage
-
-Once configured you can access it with a standard hash syntax in your Standard Commands:
-
-```ruby
-Rbcli.local_state[:yourkeyhere]
-```
-
-The methods available for use at the top level are as follows:
-
-Hash native methods:
-
-* `[]` (Regular hash syntax. Keys are accessed via either symbols or strings indifferently.)
-* `[]=` (Assignment operator)
-* `delete`
-* `each`
-* `key?`
-
-Additional methods:
-
-* `commit`
-	* Every assignment to the top level of the hash will result in a write to disk (for example: `Rbcli.local_state[:yourkey] = 'foo'`). However, if you are manipulating nested hashes, these saves will not be triggered. You can trigger them manually by calling `commit`.
-* `clear`
-	* Resets the data back to an empty hash.
-* `refresh`
-	* Loads the most current version of the data from the disk
-* `disconnect`
-	* Removes the data from memory and sets `Rbcli.local_state = nil`. Data will be read from disk again on next access.
-
-
-Every assignment will result in a write to disk, so if an operation will require a large number of assignments/writes it should be performed to a different hash before beign assigned to this one.
-
-
-## Remote State
-
-RBCli's remote state storage gives you access to a hash that is automatically persisted to a remote storage location when changes are made. It has optional locking built-in, meaning that multiple users may share remote state without any data consistency issues.
-
-Currently, this feature requires AWS DynamoDB, though other backend systems will be added in the future.
-
-### Configuration
-
-Before DynamoDB can be used, AWS API credentials have to be created and made available. RBCli will attempt to find credentials from the following locations in order:
-
-1. User's config file
-2. Environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
-3. User's AWSCLI configuration at `~/.aws/credentials`
-
-For more information about generating and storing AWS credentials, see [Configuring the AWS SDK for Ruby][aws_sdk_credentials]. Please make sure that your users are aware that they will need to provide their own credentials to use this feature.
-
-You can configure it in `config/storage.rb`.
-
-```ruby
-remote_state_dynamodb table_name: 'mytable', region: 'us-east-1', force_creation: true, halt_on_error: true, locking: false
-```
-
-These are the parameters:
-
-* `table_name`
-	* The name of the DynamoDB table to use.
-* `region`
-	* The AWS region that the database is located
-* `force_creation`
-	* Creates the DynamoDB table if it does not already exist
-* `halt_on_error`
-	* Similar to the way [Local State](#local-state) works, setting this to `false` will silence any errors in connecting to the DynamoDB table. Instead, your application will simply have access to an empty hash that does not get persisted anywhere.
-	* This is good for use cases that involve using this storage as a cache, where a connection error might mean the feature doesn't work but its not important enough to interrupt the user.
-* `locking`
-	* Setting this to `true` enables locking, meaning only one instance of your application can access the shared data at any given time. For more information see [Distributed State Locking][distributed_state_locking].
-
-
-### Access and Usage
-
-Once configured you can access it with a standard hash syntax:
-
-```ruby
-Rbcli.remote_state[:yourkeyhere]
-```
-
-This works the same way that [Local State](#local-state) does, with the same performance caveats (try not to write too frequently).
-
-Note that all state in Rbcli is __lazy-loaded__, so no connections will be made until your code attempts to access the data even if the feature is enabled.
-
-For more information on the available commands, see the documentation on [Local State](#local-state)

-title: "User Configuration Files"
-date: 2019-06-20T15:07:21-04:00
-draft: false
----
-
-RBCli provides built-in support for creating and managing userspace configuration files. It does this through two chains: the __defaults chain__ and the __user chain__.
-
-## Defaults chain
-
-The defaults chain allows you to specify sane defaults for your CLI tool throughout your code. This gives you the ability to declare configuration alongside the code, and allows RBCli to generate a user config automatically given your defaults. There are two ways to set them:
-
-* YAML Files
-	* You can store your defaults in one or more YAML files and RBCli will import and combine them. Note that when generating the user config, RBCli will use the YAML text as-is, so comments are transferred as well. This allows you to write descriptions for the options directly in the file that the user can see.
-	* This is good for tools with large or complex configuration that needs user documentation written inline
-	* These YAML files should be placed in the `userconf/` directory in your project and they will automatically be loaded
-* DSL Statements
-	* In the DSL, you can specify options individually by providing a name, description, and default value
-	* This is good for simpler configuration, as the descriptions provided are written out as comments in the generated user config
-	* You can put global configuration options in `config/userspace.rb`
-	* Command-specific confiugration can be placed in the command declarations in `application/commands/*.rb`
-
-DSL statements appear in both of the above locations as the following:
-
-```ruby
-config_default :name, description: '<description_help_text>', default: '<default_value>'
-```
-## User chain
-
-The user chain has two functions: generating and loading configuration from a YAML file on the end user's machine.
-
-Rbcli will determine the correct location to locate the user configuration based on two factors:
-
-1. The default location set in `config/userspace.rb`
-2. The location specified on the command line using the `--config-file=<filename>` option (overrides #1)
-
-To configure the default location, edit `config/userspace.rb`:
-
-```ruby
-config_userfile '~/.mytool', merge_defaults: true, required: false
-```
-
-* `path/to/config/file`
-	* Self explanatory. Recommended locations are a dotfile in the user's home directory, or a file under `/etc` such as `/etc/mytool/userconf.yaml`
-* `merge_defaults`
-	* If set to `true`, default settings override user settings. If set to `false`, default settings are not loaded at all and the user is required to have all values specified in their config.
-* `required`
-	* If set to `true` the application will not run if the file does not exist. A message will be displayed to the user to run your application with the `--generate-config` option to generate the file given your specified defaults.
-
-
-Users can generate configs by running `yourclitool --generate-config`. This will generate a config file at the tool's default location specified in the DSL. This location can be overridden via the `--config-file=<filename>` option.

-
-Contributing to RBCli is the same as most open source projects:
-
-1. Fork the repository
-2. Create your own branch
-3. Submit a pull request when ready
-
-That's all there is to it! We've also kept our acceptance criteria pretty simple, as you'll see below. Feel free to submit a pull request even if you don't meet it if you would like your code or feature to be reviewed first; we do want to be mindful of your time and will review submissions before they are polished.
-
-# Develpment Mode
-
- To allow for easy deveopment, Rbcli has a development mode which allows a project to include rbcli from a local folder instead of the default gem path. To use it, add the following to your shell's profile (typically `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.profile`):
-
- ```bash
-export RBCLI_ENV='development'
-export RBCLI_DEVPATH='/path/to/rbcli/lib/rbcli'
-alias rbcli='/path/to/rbcli/exe/rbcli'
-```
-
-# Code Acceptance Criteria
-
-## Tabs, Not Spaces
-
-Please, and thanks. We all like to use different indentation levels and styles, and this will keep us consistent between editors.
-
-For filetypes where tabs are not supported (such as YAML), please stick to using two (2) spaces.
-
-## Documentation for User Features
-
-For any modification that alters the way RBCli is used -- we're talking additional features, options, keyword changes, major behavioral changes, and the like -- the documentation will need to be updated as well. You'll be happy to know we designed it to make the process relatively painless.
-
-RBCli's documentation is essentially a collection of markdown files that have been compiled into a static site using [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org). If you already have python and pip on your system, you can install it by running:
-
-```bash
-pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material
-```
-
-You can find the source markdown files in the `docs-src/docs` folder, and the menu organization in `docs-src/mkdocs.yml`. To preview your changes on a live site, run:
-
-```bash
-mkdocs serve
-```
-
-Also, don't forget to update the __Quick Reference Guide__ in the `README.md` file (the main project one) with information about your changes.
-
-Once you've completed your edits, run the `makesite.sh` command to build the actual HTML pages automatically in the `docs` folder, from where they will be served when live.
-
-## Deprecations
-
-If a feature needs to be deprecated, RBCli has a built-in deprecation message feature. You can leverage it by calling the following code when a deprecated command is called:
-
-```ruby
-Rbcli::DeprecationWarning.new deprecated_command, message, version_when_code_will_be_removed
-```
-
-So, for example:
-
-```ruby
-Rbcli::DeprecationWarning.new 'Rbcli::Configurate.me--first_run', 'Please use `RBCli::Configurate.hooks` as the parent block instead.', '0.3.0'
-```
-
-will display the following message to the user, in red, any any time the application is run:
-
-```text
-DEPRECATION WRNING: The feature `Rbcli::Configurate.me--post_hook` has been deprecated. Please use `RBCli::Configurate.hooks` as the parent block instead. This feature will be removed in version 0.3.0.
-```
-
-Additionally, it will place the same line in the logs using `Rbcli.logger.warn` if logging is enabled.
-
-If a deprecation warning has been added, please remember to mention it in the pull request so that others can update it later.
-
-# Maintainer's Notes
-
-To install this gem onto your local machine from source, run `bundle exec rake install`.
-
-To release a new version, follow theese steps:
-
-1. Update the version number in `version.rb`
-2. Run `bundle exec rake install`, which will update `gemfile.lock` with the correct version and all dependency changes
-3. Run `docs-src/makesite.sh`, which re-compiles the documentation and pulls in the changelog and quick reference automatically
-4. Commit the above changes to master with a commit message of "vX.X.X" (where X.X.X is the version number), but do not push
-5. Run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
