Configuration¶
You may have wondered how running g command without any configuration and
options knew to connect and configure the database. Well, it’s only because
we provide default settings in our application and documentation to make
that step easy.
In this section, we’ll talk about working with the Guillotina configuration system.
Getting started¶
Guillotina provides a command to bootstrap a configuration file for you.
g create --template=configuration
This will produce a config.yaml file in your current path. Inspect the file
to see what some of the default configuration options are.
Modifying configuration¶
A detailed list of configuration options and explanations can be found in the configuration section of the docs.
Note
Guillotina also supports JSON configuration files
Configuration file¶
To specify a configuration file other than the name config.yaml, you can use
the -c or --config command line option.
g -c config-foobar.yaml
Installing applications¶
Guillotina applications are python packages that you install and then configure in your application settings.
For an example, we’ll go through installing swagger support.
pip install guillotina_swagger
Then, add this to your config.yaml file.
applications:
- guillotina_swagger
Finally, start Guillotina again and visit http://localhost:8080/@docs.
