# Method Chained libconfig #
**Exception free + header only + method chained + config files**
Provides reading the configuration and defining the configuration specification at once.
### Features ###
* default values
* limits (min/max)
* mandatory/optional values
* help text output for expected config format on specification violation
* capturing and outputting expected configuration specification/defaults
While it is possible to write a config file with this extension using the configuration specification capturing feature, it is not intended to be used as a full fledged config writer.
### Example ###
```C++
#include <libconfig_chained.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace libconfig;
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
Config cfg;
cfg.readFile("example.cfg");
ChainedSetting cs(cfg.getRoot());
string name = cs["name"].defaultValue("<name>").isMandatory();
string abstract = cs["abstract"].defaultValue("<unknown>");
double longitude = cs["longitude"].min(-180.0).max(180.0).isMandatory();
double latitude = cs["latitude"].min(-90.0).max(90.0).isMandatory();
if (cs.isAnyMandatorySettingMissing())
{
cerr << "Cannot proceed until all mandatory settings are set." << endl;
}
}
```
Console Output:
```sh
'longitude' setting is out of valid bounds (max: 180). Value was: 1200.35
Missing 'latitude' setting in configuration file.
Cannot proceed until all mandatory settings are set.
```
---
### How to integrate into your project ###
1. Link the libconfig++.[lib/la/a] library as usual (see standard use of libconfig++).
* Replace any includes of libconfig.h++ by libconfig_chained.h.
* Use method chained candy as displayed above.

### Running the examples ###
Expected Console Output:
```C++
<<< Example 1 >>>
'longitude' setting is out of valid bounds (max: 180). Value was: 1200.35
Missing 'latitude' setting in configuration file.
Cannot proceed until all mandatory settings are set.
<<< Example 2 >>>
TITLE AUTHOR PRICE QTY
Treasure Island Robert Louis Stevenson $ 29.99 5
Snow Crash Neal Stephenson $ 9.99 8
<<< Example 3 >>>
'longitude' setting is out of valid bounds (max: 180). Value was: 1200.35
Missing 'latitude' setting in configuration file.
Cannot proceed until all mandatory settings are set.
