.nes.cfg

The .nes.cfg is placed in the directory where you installed your nhtml templates, it overwrites Setting and the plugins configuration. Level rises, until the root directory of the Web, to read .nes.cfg files.

Example

    
/html/nhtml/.nes.cfg
    private_key = pass1
    mi_var1     = 10
    mi_var2     = 20
    
/html/.nes.cfg
    private_key = pass2
    mi_var2     = 30 
    mi_var3     = 40   
    
/.nes.cfg
    private_key = pass3
    mi_var1     = 50
    mi_var2     = 60  
    mi_var3     = 70
    
The value of the variables for the executable files in:     

/html/nhtml/file.nhtml
    private_key = pass1  # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var1     = 10     # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var2     = 20     # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var3     = 40     # defined in /html/.nes.cfg
                         # ignored mi_var3 of /.nes.cfg 
    
/html/file.nhtml
    private_key = pass2  # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var1     = 50     # defined in /.nes.cfg
    mi_var2     = 30     # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var3     = 40     # prevailing values of this level
    
/file.nhtml
    private_key = pass3  # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var1     = 50     # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var2     = 60     # prevailing values of this level
    mi_var3     = 70     # prevailing values of this level
     

Use in your script

You can use .nes.cfg to add configuration variables to your script. We recommend using a notation that clearly distinguishes Nes variables, for example using prefixes the name of your application:
    
.nes.cfg
    private_key = pass3
    myscript_var1 = 50
    myscript_var2 = 60  
    myscript_var3 = 70

You can access these variables from the nhtml template as:
    
 {: * cfg_myscript_var1 :}

And from Perl:
    
use Nes;
my $nes = Nes::Singleton->new();

my $config = $nes->{'CFG'};
my $var1   = $config->{'myscript_var1'};

Perl syntax in the value

In the predefined variables, Nes detects the data type automatically:
    
# Is scalar
tmp_dir = /tmp/nes

# It is an array, separated by commas
auto_load_plugin_top_first = plugin1.pl, plugin1.pl

If we define our own variables with a particular data type:
    
# Scalar, using Perl syntax in the value.
myscript_var1 $= 'scalar'

# Hash
myscript_var2 %= ( 'name' => 'Jason', 'email' => 'jason\@example.com' )

# Array
myscript_var3 @= ( 'one', 'two', 'three' )

We may also use Perl syntax for variables in the predefined value, taking care not to change the type:
    
# scalar
tmp_dir $= '/tmp/nes'

# It is an array, ERROR
tmp_dir %= '/tmp/nes'

# Array, separated by commas
auto_load_plugin_top_first = plugin1.pl, plugin2.pl

# Array, Perl syntax
auto_load_plugin_top_first @= ( 'plugin1.pl', 'plugin2.pl' )

In the predefined variables are all scalar except those allowed are comma-separated arrays. If we arrays can be useful if one of the values has a coma, or the scalar to define a space:
    
# we can not take as value a space like this:
myscript_var1 = ' '  <- error, value is the literal, including quotation 
myscript_var1 =      <- error, no value

# to give as value a space can do so:
myscript_var1 $= ' ' 

# Array, the name includes a comma
auto_load_plugin_top_first = plugin,1.pl, plugin,2.pl <- error

# Array, Perl syntax the name includes a comma
auto_load_plugin_top_first @= ( 'plugin,1.pl', 'plugin,2.pl' )

Each variable can only occupy one line.
