in other words:

Change all instances of db.get_mquery_config(...) to something like db.get_config that returns a well-typed Python object.

Do I understand correctly, reading other threads on this topic, that the https://github.com/bwindsor/typed-config solution will not be applicable here due to incompatibility with Docker environments? Zgodnie z #324 (comment) ?

What about solution like https://github.com/CERT-Polska/Artemis/blob/main/artemis/config.py

Hi,

short version (as per PM), something like a class MqueryConfig with fields like this:

@property
def default_roles(self) -> List[UserRole]:
    auth_default_roles = db.get_mquery_config_key("auth_default_roles")
    if auth_default_roles is None:
        return []
    else:
        return [
            role.strip() for role in auth_default_roles.split(",")
        ]

(a typed property per wrapped config entry) will probably be OK.

that the https://github.com/bwindsor/typed-config solution will not be applicable here due to incompatibility with Docker environments

In this case the problem is that typed-config is for config files whereas this is more dynamic (it's more like program settings, I guess?) I guess we could make a provider for typedconfig that would make it possible to use typedconfig for this, but I think it's an overkill

Interesting, I never saw Annotated[] using like this. This is similar to what I had in mind (see above), but we need dynamic dispatch because settings may change (so we need properties/functions instead of static fields).
