How to create config files/ convars

[decompile]

Hey,

After all the updates I want to ask how to create now properly config files for a plugin.

[iPlayer]

Syntax: Select all

from config.manager import ConfigManager


# Create config
with ConfigManager("my_new_plugin", cvar_prefix='mnp_') as config_manager:
    config_manager.section("ConVar section 1: Useful cvars")
    
    # Let's define mnp_cvar1
    cvar1 = config_manager.cvar(
        name="cvar1",
        default="default_value",
        description="My first console variable",
    )


# Access cvar value
print(cvar1.get_string())

Also be sure to check my ControlledCvars package

EDIT: As for descriptions and sections, you can utilize translated strings:

Syntax: Select all

from translations.strings import LangStrings

my_strings = LangStrings("my_new_plugin")    # /resource/source-python/translations/my_new_plugin.ini


# ...


config_manager.section(my_strings['config section1 description'])

[decompile]

Thank you!
