More features

The store gives many advanced features from out of the box, but the relative documents are not enough. We will try our best to fill more documentation at a certain point in the future.

In short, the store can load the data from a provider which will load from its external source, which data will be decoded by a codec decoder.

Once your configuration data is loaded or inserted into the store manually, you can read them at any time, in any way. That is, the original items can be extracted with a different data type if they can convert smoothly. For example, a string item 3d3h3s can be got as a time.Duration value (via MustDuration(path)).

In totally:

access fastly to the hierarchical tree data

app configurations management

load app configs from external sources

various codec translators and source providers

merge config fragment

save the modifications to alternated external source

see cmdr-loaders
$(PWD)/.app.toml is the target

standalone in-memory key-value pair

as a in memory cache provider

as a kernel of a http-router

highly customizable

Retrieve Node Data

A config entry, so-called as a node (in our Trie-tree), can be retrieved as a typed value:

func ExampleStoreS_Get() {
    trie := newBasicStore()
    fmt.Println(trie.MustInt("app.dump"))
    fmt.Println(trie.MustString("app.dump"))
    fmt.Println(trie.MustBool("app.dump")) // convert 3 to bool will get false, only 1 -> true.
    // Output:
    // 3
    // 3
    // false
}

func newBasicStore(opts ...Opt) *storeS {
    conf := New(opts...)
    conf.Set("app.debug", false)
    conf.Set("app.verbose", true)
    conf.Set("app.dump", 3)
    conf.Set("app.logging.file", "/tmp/1.log")
    conf.Set("app.server.start", 5)

    ss := conf.WithPrefix("app.logging")
    ss.Set("rotate", 6)
    ss.Set("words", []any{"a", 1, false})
    return conf
}

Extract A Subset

GetM(path, opts...) map[string]any is a power tool to extract the nodes as a map, which has the flattened keys. The extracted result looks like:

store_test.go:150: whole tree: map[app.debug:false app.dump:3 app.logging.file:/tmp/1.log app.logging.rotate:6 app.logging.words:[a 1 false] app.server.start:5 app.verbose:true]
store_test.go:160: app.logging sub-tree: map[app.logging.file:/tmp/1.log app.logging.rotate:6 app.logging.words:[a 1 false]]

The test code is:

func TestStore_GetM(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()

    m, err := conf.GetM("")
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("wrong in calling GetM(\"\"): %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("whole tree: %v", m)

    // filter by a functor

    m, err = conf.GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool {
        return strings.HasPrefix(node.Key(), "app.logging.")
    }))
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("wrong in calling GetM(\"\"): %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("app.logging sub-tree: %v", m)
}

GetM("") can extract the whole tree, and GetM("app.logging") extract that subtree.

With filter functor, you can extract app.logging subtree by GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool { return strings.HasPrefix(node.Key(), "app.logging.") }))).

Extract Subtree Into Struct

GetSectionFrom makes extracting to struct easier. For example,

func TestStore_GetSectionFrom(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()
    conf.Set("app.logging.words", []any{"a", 1, false})
    conf.Set("app.server.sites", -1)
    t.Logf("\nPath\n%v\n", conf.Dump())

    type loggingS struct {
        File   uint
        Rotate uint64
        Words  []any
    }

    type serverS struct {
        Start int
        Sites int
    }

    type appS struct {
        Debug   int
        Dump    int
        Verbose int64
        Logging loggingS
        Server  serverS
    }

    type cfgS struct {
        App appS
    }

    var ss cfgS
    err := conf.GetSectionFrom("", &ss) // extract the whole tree
    t.Logf("cfgS: %v | err: %v", ss, err)

    assertEqual(t, []any{"a", 1, false}, ss.App.Logging.Words)
    assertEqual(t, -1, ss.App.Server.Sites)

    if !reflect.DeepEqual(ss.App.Logging.Words, []any{"a", 1, false}) {
        t.Fail()
    }
}

TODO: Transferring a struct into the Store isn't in our plan yet.

Light-weight Sub-tree

The store has a dead lightweight subtree accessor. By using WithPrefix or WithPrefixReplaced, you can construct a subtree accessor and read/write a node:

func TestStore_WithPrefix(t *testing.T) {
    trie := newBasicStore()
    t.Logf("\nPath\n%v\n", trie.Dump())

    assertEqual(t, 6, trie.MustGet("app.logging.rotate"))
    conf := trie.WithPrefix("app")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("logging.rotate"))

    conf = conf.WithPrefix("logging")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("rotate"))

  conf = trie.WithPrefixReplaced("app.logging")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("rotate"))
}

Easily Cutting

By using SetPrefix(prefix), a store and its whole subtree can be moved or associated with a new hierarchical tree structure.

By using Dup or Clone, and Merge, the store can be cut and layout.

Split key with delimiter

If a key contains delimiter, it will be split and insert into the Store. Technically, the inserter doesn't do special stuff for this key, but the getter will access the tree path separated by the delimiter char.

So when you're loading a YAML file (or others), the dotted key can make the file consicer:

app.demo.working: "~/demo"

It equals

app:
  demo:
    working: "~/demo"

This feature is builtin and cannot disable, due to we have a Trie-tree store and the node is always recognized at extracting.

A side effect is, when you're using a float-point number as a key, that will have matters. Our tip is, don't do that.

Decompound Map

The data can be split and orchestrated into tree structure when you're inserting a map.

This feature works when a provider is loading its external source. Set(k, v) doesn't decompound anything in v. But Merge(k, m) does:

func TestDecompoundMap(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()

    conf.Set("app.map", false) // ensure key path 'app.map' has already existed
    // and now merge a map into the point/node
    err := conf.Merge("app.map", map[string]any{
        "k1": 1,
        "k2": false,
        "m3": map[string]any{
            "bobo": "joe",
        },
    })

    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Merge failed: %v", err)
    }

    assert.Equal(t, int(1), conf.MustGet("app.map.k1"))
    assert.Equal(t, false, conf.MustGet("app.map.k2"))
    assert.Equal(t, "joe", conf.MustGet("app.map.m3.bobo"))
}

Of course, it shall be a valid deep map[string]any.

Decompound Slice

A slice can be decompounded once you enabled WithStoreFlattenSlice(true).

It works for loading an external source, similar like Decompounding Map.

For example:

func TestHjson(t *testing.T) {
    s := store.New()
    parser := hjson.New()
    if err := s.Load(context.TODO(),
        store.WithStorePrefix("app.hjson"),
        store.WithCodec(parser),
        store.WithProvider(file.New("../testdata/6.hjson")),

        store.WithStoreFlattenSlice(true),
    ); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Load failed: %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("\n%-32sData\n%v\n", "Path", s.Dump())

    assert.Equal(t, `r.Header.Get("From")`, s.MustGet("app.hjson.messages.0.placeholders.0.expr"))
    assert.Equal(t, `r.Header.Get("User-Agent")`, s.MustGet("app.hjson.messages.1.placeholders.0.expr"))
}

The supplied hjson file has the following contents:

{
  language: "zh",
  messages: [
    {
      id: "Hello {From}!",
      message: "Hello {From}!",
      translation: "",
      placeholders: [
        {
          id: "From",
          string: "%[1]s",
          type: "string",
          underlyingType: "string",
          argNum: 1,
          expr: 'r.Header.Get("From")',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      id: "Do you like your browser ({User_Agent})?",
      message: "Do you like your browser ({User_Agent})?",
      translation: "",
      placeholders: [
        {
          id: "User_Agent",
          string: "%[1]s",
          type: "string",
          underlyingType: "string",
          argNum: 1,
          expr: 'r.Header.Get("User-Agent")',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
}

Notable Nodes

Different from other configuration managers, the store is not only a memory key-value store. The nodes in store are both notable and taggable.

conf.Set("debug", false)
conf.SetComment("debug", "a flag to identify app debug mode", "remarks here")
conf.SetTag("debug", map[string]any{
    "handler": func(){},
})

node, _, _, found := conf.Locate("debug")
if found {
    t.Log(node.Tag(), node.Description(), node.Comment())
}
t.Log(conf.Dump())

Dump() will produce the detailed output.

Walk The Whole Tree

Walk(path) gives a way to iterator the Store.

func TestStore_Walk(t *testing.T) {
    var conf Store = newBasicStore()
    conf.Walk("", func(path, fragment string, node radix.Node[any]) {
        t.Logf("%v / %v => %v", path, fragment, node)
    })
}

// Output:
//  /  => &{[]  [0xc0000e23f0] <nil>   <nil> 0}
// app. / app. => &{[97 112 112 46] app. [0xc0000e2480 0xc0000e2510 0xc0000e26c0 0xc0000e2750] false   <nil> 0}
// app.d / d => &{[100] app.d [0xc0000e25a0 0xc0000e2630] false   <nil> 0}
// app.debug / ebug => &{[101 98 117 103] app.debug [] false   <nil> 13}
// app.dump / ump => &{[117 109 112] app.dump [] 3   <nil> 13}
// app.verbose / verbose => &{[118 101 114 98 111 115 101] app.verbose [] true   <nil> 13}
// app.logging. / logging. => &{[108 111 103 103 105 110 103 46] app.logging. [0xc0000e2870 0xc0000e2900 0xc0000e2990] /tmp/1.log   <nil> 0}
// app.logging.file / file => &{[102 105 108 101] app.logging.file [] /tmp/1.log   <nil> 13}
// app.logging.rotate / rotate => &{[114 111 116 97 116 101] app.logging.rotate [] 6   <nil> 13}
// app.logging.words / words => &{[119 111 114 100 115] app.logging.words [] [a 1 false]   <nil> 13}
// app.server.start / server.start => &{[115 101 114 118 101 114 46 115 116 97 114 116] app.server.start [] 5   <nil> 13}

As a feature based on Trie-tree, Walk("app") will walk from the parent of app. node. And Walk("app.") will walk from the app. node.

Like GetM, passing "" will walk from the top-level root node.

Modified State

Each node has a modified state, so we can extract them from the Store:

func (s *loadS) Save(ctx context.Context) (err error) { return s.trySave(ctx) }
func (s *loadS) trySave(ctx context.Context) (err error) {
    if s.codec != nil {
        var m map[string]any
        if m, err = s.GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool {
            return node.Modified()
        })); err == nil {
            var data []byte
            if data, err = s.codec.Marshal(m); err == nil {
                switch fp := s.provider.(type) {
                case OnceProvider:
                    err = fp.Write(data)
                default:
                    err = ErrNotImplemented
                }

                if errors.Is(err, ErrNotImplemented) {
                    if wr, ok := s.provider.(io.Writer); ok {
                        _, err = wr.Write(data)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return
}

We assume the user calling Set(k, v) will cause modified state was set to true. And app loading and merging to the Store at startup will be treated as initial state, so the modified state keeps unset (i.e., false).

Provider for External Source

Providers could be used to describe an external source, such as file, env, or consul and vice versa.

Codecs are used to describe how to decode a streaming input loaded by Provider, such as yaml, toml, json, hcl, etc.

A loading logic typically is:

func TestTOML(t *testing.T) {
    s := store.New()
    parser := toml.New()
    if err := s.Load(context.TODO(),
        store.WithStorePrefix("app.toml"),
        store.WithCodec(parser),
        store.WithProvider(file.New("../testdata/5.toml")),

        store.WithStoreFlattenSlice(true),
    ); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Load failed: %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("\n%-32sData\n%v\n", "Path", s.Dump())

    assert.Equal(t, `127.0.0.1`, s.MustGet("app.toml.host"))
    assert.Equal(t, `TLS 1.3`, s.MustGet("app.toml.TLS.version"))
    assert.Equal(t, `AEAD-AES128-GCM-SHA256`, s.MustGet("app.toml.TLS.cipher"))
    assert.Equal(t, `go`, s.MustGet("app.toml.tags.0"))
}

More tests at tests/*_test.go .

Implement A Provider

A Provider should support Read():

type Provider interface {
    Read() (m map[string]any, err error) // return ErrNotImplemented as an identifier

    ProviderSupports
}

type ProviderSupports interface {
    GetCodec() (codec Codec)   // return the bound codec decoder
    GetPosition() (pos string) // return a position pointed to a trie node path
    WithCodec(codec Codec)
    WithPosition(pos string)
}

Your provider can support OnceProvider or StreamProvider while its Read return radix.ErrNotImplemented. OnceProvider assumes the loader read binary content at once. StreamProvider allows reading the large content progressively.

Set TTL for A Key

Since v1.2.5, we added TTL support for a trie node. Once the TTL arrives, the data of the target key will be cleared. Which means, the data field would be reset to zero value (or a nil value for an any type T).

The code could be:

func TestStore_SetTTL(t *testing.T) {
 conf := newBasicStore()
 defer conf.Close()

 path := "app.logging.rotate"
 conf.SetTTL(path, 200*time.Millisecond, func(s *radix.TTL[any], nd radix.Node[any]) {
  t.Logf("%q cleared", path)
 })
 path2 := "app.logging.file"
 conf.SetTTL(path2, 200*time.Millisecond, func(s *radix.TTL[any], nd radix.Node[any]) {
  t.Logf("%q (%q) cleared", path2, nd.Data())
 })

 time.Sleep(450 * time.Millisecond)
 assertEqual(t, true, conf.Has(path2))
 assertEqual(t, nil, conf.MustGet(path2))
 assertEqual(t, 0, conf.MustInt(path))
}

Retrieve Node Data

A config entry, so-called as a node (in our Trie-tree), can be retrieved as a typed value:

func ExampleStoreS_Get() {
    trie := newBasicStore()
    fmt.Println(trie.MustInt("app.dump"))
    fmt.Println(trie.MustString("app.dump"))
    fmt.Println(trie.MustBool("app.dump")) // convert 3 to bool will get false, only 1 -> true.
    // Output:
    // 3
    // 3
    // false
}

func newBasicStore(opts ...Opt) *storeS {
    conf := New(opts...)
    conf.Set("app.debug", false)
    conf.Set("app.verbose", true)
    conf.Set("app.dump", 3)
    conf.Set("app.logging.file", "/tmp/1.log")
    conf.Set("app.server.start", 5)

    ss := conf.WithPrefix("app.logging")
    ss.Set("rotate", 6)
    ss.Set("words", []any{"a", 1, false})
    return conf
}

Extract A Subset

GetM(path, opts...) map[string]any is a power tool to extract the nodes as a map, which has the flattened keys. The extracted result looks like:

store_test.go:150: whole tree: map[app.debug:false app.dump:3 app.logging.file:/tmp/1.log app.logging.rotate:6 app.logging.words:[a 1 false] app.server.start:5 app.verbose:true]
store_test.go:160: app.logging sub-tree: map[app.logging.file:/tmp/1.log app.logging.rotate:6 app.logging.words:[a 1 false]]

The test code is:

func TestStore_GetM(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()

    m, err := conf.GetM("")
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("wrong in calling GetM(\"\"): %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("whole tree: %v", m)

    // filter by a functor

    m, err = conf.GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool {
        return strings.HasPrefix(node.Key(), "app.logging.")
    }))
    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("wrong in calling GetM(\"\"): %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("app.logging sub-tree: %v", m)
}

GetM("") can extract the whole tree, and GetM("app.logging") extract that subtree.

With filter functor, you can extract app.logging subtree by GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool { return strings.HasPrefix(node.Key(), "app.logging.") }))).

Extract Subtree Into Struct

GetSectionFrom makes extracting to struct easier. For example,

func TestStore_GetSectionFrom(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()
    conf.Set("app.logging.words", []any{"a", 1, false})
    conf.Set("app.server.sites", -1)
    t.Logf("\nPath\n%v\n", conf.Dump())

    type loggingS struct {
        File   uint
        Rotate uint64
        Words  []any
    }

    type serverS struct {
        Start int
        Sites int
    }

    type appS struct {
        Debug   int
        Dump    int
        Verbose int64
        Logging loggingS
        Server  serverS
    }

    type cfgS struct {
        App appS
    }

    var ss cfgS
    err := conf.GetSectionFrom("", &ss) // extract the whole tree
    t.Logf("cfgS: %v | err: %v", ss, err)

    assertEqual(t, []any{"a", 1, false}, ss.App.Logging.Words)
    assertEqual(t, -1, ss.App.Server.Sites)

    if !reflect.DeepEqual(ss.App.Logging.Words, []any{"a", 1, false}) {
        t.Fail()
    }
}

TODO: Transferring a struct into the Store isn't in our plan yet.

Light-weight Sub-tree

The store has a dead lightweight subtree accessor. By using WithPrefix or WithPrefixReplaced, you can construct a subtree accessor and read/write a node:

func TestStore_WithPrefix(t *testing.T) {
    trie := newBasicStore()
    t.Logf("\nPath\n%v\n", trie.Dump())

    assertEqual(t, 6, trie.MustGet("app.logging.rotate"))
    conf := trie.WithPrefix("app")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("logging.rotate"))

    conf = conf.WithPrefix("logging")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("rotate"))

  conf = trie.WithPrefixReplaced("app.logging")
    assertEqual(t, 6, conf.MustGet("rotate"))
}

Easily Cutting

By using SetPrefix(prefix), a store and its whole subtree can be moved or associated with a new hierarchical tree structure.

By using Dup or Clone, and Merge, the store can be cut and layout.

Split key with delimiter

So when you're loading a YAML file (or others), the dotted key can make the file consicer:

app.demo.working: "~/demo"

It equals

app:
  demo:
    working: "~/demo"

This feature is builtin and cannot disable, due to we have a Trie-tree store and the node is always recognized at extracting.

A side effect is, when you're using a float-point number as a key, that will have matters. Our tip is, don't do that.

Decompound Map

The data can be split and orchestrated into tree structure when you're inserting a map.

This feature works when a provider is loading its external source. Set(k, v) doesn't decompound anything in v. But Merge(k, m) does:

func TestDecompoundMap(t *testing.T) {
    conf := newBasicStore()

    conf.Set("app.map", false) // ensure key path 'app.map' has already existed
    // and now merge a map into the point/node
    err := conf.Merge("app.map", map[string]any{
        "k1": 1,
        "k2": false,
        "m3": map[string]any{
            "bobo": "joe",
        },
    })

    if err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Merge failed: %v", err)
    }

    assert.Equal(t, int(1), conf.MustGet("app.map.k1"))
    assert.Equal(t, false, conf.MustGet("app.map.k2"))
    assert.Equal(t, "joe", conf.MustGet("app.map.m3.bobo"))
}

Of course, it shall be a valid deep map[string]any.

Decompound Slice

A slice can be decompounded once you enabled WithStoreFlattenSlice(true).

It works for loading an external source, similar like Decompounding Map.

For example:

func TestHjson(t *testing.T) {
    s := store.New()
    parser := hjson.New()
    if err := s.Load(context.TODO(),
        store.WithStorePrefix("app.hjson"),
        store.WithCodec(parser),
        store.WithProvider(file.New("../testdata/6.hjson")),

        store.WithStoreFlattenSlice(true),
    ); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Load failed: %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("\n%-32sData\n%v\n", "Path", s.Dump())

    assert.Equal(t, `r.Header.Get("From")`, s.MustGet("app.hjson.messages.0.placeholders.0.expr"))
    assert.Equal(t, `r.Header.Get("User-Agent")`, s.MustGet("app.hjson.messages.1.placeholders.0.expr"))
}

The supplied hjson file has the following contents:

{
  language: "zh",
  messages: [
    {
      id: "Hello {From}!",
      message: "Hello {From}!",
      translation: "",
      placeholders: [
        {
          id: "From",
          string: "%[1]s",
          type: "string",
          underlyingType: "string",
          argNum: 1,
          expr: 'r.Header.Get("From")',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      id: "Do you like your browser ({User_Agent})?",
      message: "Do you like your browser ({User_Agent})?",
      translation: "",
      placeholders: [
        {
          id: "User_Agent",
          string: "%[1]s",
          type: "string",
          underlyingType: "string",
          argNum: 1,
          expr: 'r.Header.Get("User-Agent")',
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
}

Notable Nodes

Different from other configuration managers, the store is not only a memory key-value store. The nodes in store are both notable and taggable.

conf.Set("debug", false)
conf.SetComment("debug", "a flag to identify app debug mode", "remarks here")
conf.SetTag("debug", map[string]any{
    "handler": func(){},
})

node, _, _, found := conf.Locate("debug")
if found {
    t.Log(node.Tag(), node.Description(), node.Comment())
}
t.Log(conf.Dump())

Dump() will produce the detailed output.

Walk The Whole Tree

Walk(path) gives a way to iterator the Store.

func TestStore_Walk(t *testing.T) {
    var conf Store = newBasicStore()
    conf.Walk("", func(path, fragment string, node radix.Node[any]) {
        t.Logf("%v / %v => %v", path, fragment, node)
    })
}

// Output:
//  /  => &{[]  [0xc0000e23f0] <nil>   <nil> 0}
// app. / app. => &{[97 112 112 46] app. [0xc0000e2480 0xc0000e2510 0xc0000e26c0 0xc0000e2750] false   <nil> 0}
// app.d / d => &{[100] app.d [0xc0000e25a0 0xc0000e2630] false   <nil> 0}
// app.debug / ebug => &{[101 98 117 103] app.debug [] false   <nil> 13}
// app.dump / ump => &{[117 109 112] app.dump [] 3   <nil> 13}
// app.verbose / verbose => &{[118 101 114 98 111 115 101] app.verbose [] true   <nil> 13}
// app.logging. / logging. => &{[108 111 103 103 105 110 103 46] app.logging. [0xc0000e2870 0xc0000e2900 0xc0000e2990] /tmp/1.log   <nil> 0}
// app.logging.file / file => &{[102 105 108 101] app.logging.file [] /tmp/1.log   <nil> 13}
// app.logging.rotate / rotate => &{[114 111 116 97 116 101] app.logging.rotate [] 6   <nil> 13}
// app.logging.words / words => &{[119 111 114 100 115] app.logging.words [] [a 1 false]   <nil> 13}
// app.server.start / server.start => &{[115 101 114 118 101 114 46 115 116 97 114 116] app.server.start [] 5   <nil> 13}

As a feature based on Trie-tree, Walk("app") will walk from the parent of app. node. And Walk("app.") will walk from the app. node.

Like GetM, passing "" will walk from the top-level root node.

Modified State

Each node has a modified state, so we can extract them from the Store:

func (s *loadS) Save(ctx context.Context) (err error) { return s.trySave(ctx) }
func (s *loadS) trySave(ctx context.Context) (err error) {
    if s.codec != nil {
        var m map[string]any
        if m, err = s.GetM("", WithFilter[any](func(node radix.Node[any]) bool {
            return node.Modified()
        })); err == nil {
            var data []byte
            if data, err = s.codec.Marshal(m); err == nil {
                switch fp := s.provider.(type) {
                case OnceProvider:
                    err = fp.Write(data)
                default:
                    err = ErrNotImplemented
                }

                if errors.Is(err, ErrNotImplemented) {
                    if wr, ok := s.provider.(io.Writer); ok {
                        _, err = wr.Write(data)
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return
}

Provider for External Source

Providers could be used to describe an external source, such as file, env, or consul and vice versa.

Codecs are used to describe how to decode a streaming input loaded by Provider, such as yaml, toml, json, hcl, etc.

A loading logic typically is:

func TestTOML(t *testing.T) {
    s := store.New()
    parser := toml.New()
    if err := s.Load(context.TODO(),
        store.WithStorePrefix("app.toml"),
        store.WithCodec(parser),
        store.WithProvider(file.New("../testdata/5.toml")),

        store.WithStoreFlattenSlice(true),
    ); err != nil {
        t.Fatalf("Load failed: %v", err)
    }
    t.Logf("\n%-32sData\n%v\n", "Path", s.Dump())

    assert.Equal(t, `127.0.0.1`, s.MustGet("app.toml.host"))
    assert.Equal(t, `TLS 1.3`, s.MustGet("app.toml.TLS.version"))
    assert.Equal(t, `AEAD-AES128-GCM-SHA256`, s.MustGet("app.toml.TLS.cipher"))
    assert.Equal(t, `go`, s.MustGet("app.toml.tags.0"))
}

Implement A Provider

A Provider should support Read():

type Provider interface {
    Read() (m map[string]any, err error) // return ErrNotImplemented as an identifier

    ProviderSupports
}

type ProviderSupports interface {
    GetCodec() (codec Codec)   // return the bound codec decoder
    GetPosition() (pos string) // return a position pointed to a trie node path
    WithCodec(codec Codec)
    WithPosition(pos string)
}

Set TTL for A Key

The code could be:

func TestStore_SetTTL(t *testing.T) {
 conf := newBasicStore()
 defer conf.Close()

 path := "app.logging.rotate"
 conf.SetTTL(path, 200*time.Millisecond, func(s *radix.TTL[any], nd radix.Node[any]) {
  t.Logf("%q cleared", path)
 })
 path2 := "app.logging.file"
 conf.SetTTL(path2, 200*time.Millisecond, func(s *radix.TTL[any], nd radix.Node[any]) {
  t.Logf("%q (%q) cleared", path2, nd.Data())
 })

 time.Sleep(450 * time.Millisecond)
 assertEqual(t, true, conf.Has(path2))
 assertEqual(t, nil, conf.MustGet(path2))
 assertEqual(t, 0, conf.MustInt(path))
}
