Configuration¶
palfrey.config
¶
Configuration management and CLI option parsing for Palfrey.
This module provides the central configuration system for Palfrey, integrating environment variables, CLI arguments (via Click), and configuration files into a unified Config dataclass. It defines type aliases and validation sets for all configurable parameters (loop type, HTTP backend, WebSocket mode, etc.) and includes helper functions for path resolution, SSL setup, and application loading. The module bridges Palfrey's command-line interface with its runtime behavior.
PalfreyConfig
dataclass
¶
The central configuration model for the Palfrey server runtime.
This class encapsulates all settings related to networking, protocol handling, worker management, and security. It mirrors Uvicorn's configuration structure to maintain a familiar interface for users.
