Overview of configuration services

Orion provides a number of service APIs related to service configuration.

orion.cm.configadmin

The orion.cm.configadmin service, also called ConfigurationAdmin, provides management of configuration data. Configuration data is persistent information that is provided to Managed Services. Internally, the ConfigurationAdmin service is used by the Plugin Settings page to manage the values of settings.

This service is analogous to the OSGi ConfigurationAdmin.

The service methods are:

getConfiguration(pid)

returns Configuration

Returns a Configuration with the given PID, creating a new Configuration if one does not already exist.

listConfigurations()

returns Configuration[]

Returns an array of all current Configuration objects.

Refer to orion.cm.ConfigurationAdmin in the client API reference for a full description of this service's API methods.

Here is an example of how to use the ConfigurationAdmin service to print out all existing configurations and their property values:

var configurations = serviceRegistry.getService("orion.cm.configadmin").listConfigurations().then(function(configurations) {
        configurations.forEach(function(configuration) {
            var properties = configuration.getProperties();
            var propertyInfo = Object.keys(properties).map(function(propertyName) {
                if (propertyName !== "pid") {
                    return "\n        " + propertyName + ": " + JSON.stringify(properties[propertyName]) + "\n";
                }
            }).join("");
            console.log("Configuration pid: " + configuration.getPid() + "\n"
                      + "  properties: {" + propertyInfo + "\n"
                      + "  }");
        });
});

The result might look something like this:

Configuration pid: nonnls.config
  properties: {
        enabled: false
  }
Configuration pid: jslint.config
  properties: {
        options: "laxbreak:true, maxerr:50"
  }

orion.cm.metatype

Contributes type definitions, which may be associated with a service's configuration. This is analogus to the OSGi Metatype.

orion.cm.managedservice

Contributes a managed service. A managed service is a service that can receive configuration info. This is analogus to the OSGi Managed Service.
