Hi list,
I have some good input on extending Kannel's config handling abilities:
Currently we have several needs for a config value list, some examples:
group = smsc
...
accepted-smsc-id = "A;B;C"
group = sms-service
...
aliases = "key2;key3;key4"
group = smsbox-route
...
shortcode = "1111;2222;3333"
so, all of these are either of type word-list or id-list, semantically it's a
semicolon seperated list. For some parts we have defined foobar-regex config
directives to handle PCRE/regex for a more simple definition.
The idea now is to create a more generic construct for this, which handles 3
(maybe more?) different ways for any "list-type":
foobar = "A;B;C"
foobar-url = "http://somewhere/foobar-list";
foobar-regex = "<the regex expression>"
so users can *CHOOSE* which way they prefer. And we handle the processing of the
list "transparently" to the logic that requires the list from the config sections.
I like this concept of abstraction here. Since we would encapsulate the plain,
-url and -regex handling to the scope of gwlib/cfg.{ch] and the other calling
modules simply pull for the list.
Thoughts?
