SYNOPSIS

13        use Config::Model ;
14        use Data::Dumper ;
15
16        # define configuration tree object
17        my $model = Config::Model->new ;
18        $model ->create_config_class (
19           name => "MyClass",
20           element => [
21               [qw/foo bar/] => {
22                   type => 'leaf',
23                   value_type => 'string'
24               },
25               baz => {
26                   type => 'hash',
27                   index_type => 'string' ,
28                   cargo => {
29                       type => 'leaf',
30                       value_type => 'string',
31                   },
32               },
33           ],
34         rw_config  => {
35           backend => 'yaml',
36           config_dir => '/tmp',
37           file  => 'foo.yml',
38           auto_create => 1,
39         }
40        ) ;
41
42        my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'MyClass' );
43
44        my $root = $inst->config_root ;
45
46        my $steps = 'foo=yada bar="bla bla" baz:en=hello
47                    baz:fr=bonjour baz:hr="dobar dan"';
48        $root->load( steps => $steps ) ;
49        $inst->write_back ;
50
51       Now, "/tmp/foo.yml" contains:
52
53        ---
54        bar: bla bla
55        baz:
56          en: hello
57          fr: bonjour
58          hr: dobar dan
59        foo: yada

DESCRIPTION

62       This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the
63       content of a configuration tree written with YAML syntax in
64       "Config::Model" configuration tree.
65
66       Note:
67
68       •   Undefined values are skipped for list element. I.e. if a list
69           element contains "('a',undef,'b')", the data structure contains
70           'a','b'.
71
72       •   YAML file is not created (and may be deleted) when no data is to be
73           written.
74
75   Class with only one hash element
76       If the root node contains a single hash or list element, only the
77       content of this hash is written in a YAML file.
78
79       For example, if a class contains:
80
81             element => [
82               baz => {
83                   type => 'hash',
84                   index_type => 'string' ,
85                   cargo => {
86                       type => 'leaf',
87                       value_type => 'string',
88                   },
89               },
90
91       If the configuration is loaded with:
92
93        $root->load("baz:one=un baz:two=deux")
94
95       Then the written YAML file does not show "baz":
96
97        ---
98        one: un
99        two: deux
100
101       Likewise, a YAML file for a class with a single list "baz" element
102       would be written with:
103
104        ---
105        - un
106        - deux
107

YAML class

109       As of v2.129, this backend uses YAML::XS 0.69 or later.
110
111       For security reason, loading a Perl blessed object is disabled.
112
113       Value of type boolean are written as boolean values in YAML files.
114

backend parameter

116   yaml_class
117       This parameter is ignored as of version 2.129.
118

CONSTRUCTOR

120   new
121       Parameters: "( node => $node_obj, name => 'yaml' )"
122
123       Inherited from Config::Model::Backend::Any. The constructor is called
124       by Config::Model::BackendMgr.
125
126   read
127       Read YAML file and load into $node_obj tree.
128
129       When a file is read, "read" returns 1.
130
131   write
132       Write YAML File using $node_obj data.
133
134       "write" returns 1.
