Configuration and Settings

• NOTE : You can use the package “jgtcore” (pip install jgtcore) which contains what is needed for configurations and settings

from jgtcore import readconfig, load_settings

# Load with specific options
config = readconfig(demo=True, export_env=True)
settings = load_settings(custom_path="/path/to/settings.json")

BELLOW IS STILL Supported on config/settings that will keep migrating to jgtcore (will only by a library for that and jgtutils will become just utilities but that is not completed yet.)

config.json

jgtcommon.readconfig() loads trading credentials and connection info from a JSON file. Lookup order:

1. Path provided as argument or config.json in the current directory.
2. $HOME/.jgt/config.json.
3. /etc/jgt/config.json.
4. Environment variables (in order):
   • JGT_CONFIG_JSON_SECRET (entire JSON string)
   • JGT_CONFIG (JSON string)
   • JGT_CONFIG_PATH (path to a JSON file)

Set export_env=True to export keys (like user_id, password) as environment variables. Use demo=True to replace credentials with *_demo values if present.

settings.json

jgtcommon.load_settings() merges settings from multiple locations in the following order (later entries override earlier ones):

1. /etc/jgt/settings.json and environment variable JGT_SETTINGS_SYSTEM
2. $HOME/.jgt/settings.json and environment variable JGT_SETTINGS_USER
3. .jgt/settings.json in the current directory
4. .jgt/settings.yml, jgt.yml, _config.yml (YAML files)
5. Environment variables: JGT_SETTINGS, JGT_SETTINGS_PROCESS
6. Custom path via the -ls/--settings CLI option

The merged dictionary is cached by get_settings() for repeated access.

Use the jgtset CLI to export settings to a .env file for shell sourcing.
