# Design note:
|
|
# A nested representation of inevitably leads to bad UX:
|
|
# 1. keys like "a.b" must be disallowed, or
|
|
# the addition of options in a freeformType module
|
|
# become breaking changes
|
|
# 2. adding a value for "a" after "a"."b" was already
|
|
# defined leads to a somewhat hard to understand
|
|
# Nix error, because that's not something you can
|
|
# do with attrset syntax. Workaround: "a"."", but
|
|
# that's too little too late. Another workaround:
|
|
# mkMerge [ { a = ...; } { a.b = ...; } ].
|
|
#
|
|
# Choosing a non-nested representation does mean that
|
|
# we sacrifice the ability to override at the (conceptual)
|
|
# hierarchical levels, _if_ an application exhibits those.
|
|
#
|
|
# Some apps just use periods instead of spaces in an odd
|
|
# mix of attempted categorization and natural language,
|
|
# with no meaningful hierarchy.
|
|
#
|
|
# We _can_ choose to support hierarchical config files
|
|
# via nested attrsets, but the module author should
|
|
# make sure that problem (2) does not occur.

# Requirements
|
|
# ============
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. Strings in Nix carry over to the same
|
|
# strings in Java => need proper escapes
|
|
# 2. Generate files quickly
|
|
# - A JVM would have to match the app's
|
|
# JVM to avoid build closure bloat
|
|
# - Even then, JVM startup would slow
|
|
# down config generation.
|
|
#
|
|
#
|
|
# Implementation
|
|
# ==============
|
|
#
|
|
# Escaping has two steps
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. jq
|
|
# Escape known separators, in order not
|
|
# to break up the keys and values.
|
|
# This handles typical whitespace correctly,
|
|
# but may produce garbage for other control
|
|
# characters.
|
|
#
|
|
# 2. iconv
|
|
# Escape >ascii code points to java escapes,
|
|
# as .properties files are supposed to be
|
|
# encoded in ISO 8859-1. It's an old format.
|
|
# UTF-8 behavior may exist in some apps and
|
|
# libraries, but we can't rely on this in
|
|
# general.
