Config

Load fusion.<env>.json and core/settings.py with fusion_framework.config

Overview

fusion_framework.config is the Python façade over shared settings in fusion-core.

Runtime values live in fusion.<env>.json. Optional Python overlay lives in core/settings.py. The active environment comes from FUSION_ENV (default: dev).

For discovery rules, envelope vs flat JSON, env placeholders, and the full annotated fusion.dev.json / stage / prod schema, see the shared guide:

→ Settings and configuration

from fusion_framework.config import load_settings_module, get_settings

load_settings_module("settings")
s = get_settings()
print(s.host, s.port, s.debug)

What the module exports

SymbolRole
settingsGlobal singleton settings object
SettingsClass (usually you use the singleton)
get_settings()Ensure JSON is loaded, return the singleton
load_settings_module(...)Load JSON + merge UPPERCASE attrs from a Python module
configure(**kwargs)Set values in code without editing JSON

Also available as:

from fusion_framework import settings

Typical startup in main.py

from fusion_framework.app import FusionApp
from fusion_framework.config import get_settings, load_settings_module

MIDDLEWARE: list = []

def main() -> None:
    load_settings_module("settings")   # 1) JSON + core/settings.py
    app = FusionApp(get_settings())    # 2) host / port / debug
    for mw in MIDDLEWARE:
        app.use(mw)
    app.listen()                       # 3) start server

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

load_settings_module

load_settings_module("settings")
# or
load_settings_module("core.settings")

What it does:

  1. Discovers and loads fusion.<env>.json (cwd, parents, __main__ dir)
  2. Imports the Python module (settings → also tries core.settings)
  3. Merges only UPPERCASE names from that module onto the settings object
# core/settings.py
from fusion_framework import settings

SECRET_KEY = settings.get("secret_key")
DEBUG = settings.get("debug", default=False)

get_settings and the settings object

s = get_settings()
s.host   # str, default "127.0.0.1"
s.port   # int, default 3000 (scaffold uses 8080 in fusion.dev.json)
s.debug  # bool
s.env    # "dev" | "prod" | "stage" | …
APIPurpose
settings.get("key", default=...)Read a config key (supports dotted paths)
settings["key"]Same, raises KeyError if missing
settings.host / .port / .debug / .envCommon fields
settings.merge({...}) / configure(**kwargs)Overlay
settings.load_json(...) / ensure_loaded()Explicit / lazy load

Switch environment

FUSION_ENV=prod python main.py
fusion command run:prod

Mental model

fusion.dev.json  →  config block  →  settings singleton
core/settings.py →  UPPERCASE overlay (optional)
get_settings()   →  FusionApp.listen(host, port)

JSON is the source of truth. See Settings for keys (host, port, fingerprint, swagger, …) and CLI-generated file contents.
