This is the start of an idea to better handle configuration. It's in the same vein as the moribund #105 but with more of an adiabatic plan. To start with, all this does is dump a JSON representation of component metadata:
The JSON representation includes:
IConfigurable
then the schema describing the object returned bydefault_configuration()
is generated, with the default values included.INode
then the category, signature and data types passed by the input/output ports are included.Note: since not all
IConfigurable
implementations return a full object fromdefault_configuration()
the dumped schema will not be complete.Long term, the idea is that this dump can turn around and become human-developed and used to generate c++ config structs a'la #105. Until then there are plans to exploit the dump to generate some added value: documentation, Jsonnet helpers, graph validation.
