Detailed Description

A field in a `~lsst.pex.config.Config` that supports `int`, `float`,
`complex`, `bool`, and `str` data types.

Parameters
----------
doc : `str`
    A description of the field for users.
dtype : type, optional
    The field's data type. ``Field`` only supports basic data types:
    `int`, `float`, `complex`, `bool`, and `str`. See
    `Field.supportedTypes`. Optional if supplied as a typing argument to
    the class.
default : object, optional
    The field's default value.
check : callable, optional
    A callable that is called with the field's value. This callable should
    return `False` if the value is invalid. More complex inter-field
    validation can be written as part of the
    `lsst.pex.config.Config.validate` method.
optional : `bool`, optional
    This sets whether the field is considered optional, and therefore
    doesn't need to be set by the user. When `False`,
    `lsst.pex.config.Config.validate` fails if the field's value is `None`.
deprecated : None or `str`, optional
    A description of why this Field is deprecated, including removal date.
    If not None, the string is appended to the docstring for this Field.

Raises
------
ValueError
    Raised when the ``dtype`` parameter is not one of the supported types
    (see `Field.supportedTypes`).

Notes
-----
``Field`` instances (including those of any subclass of ``Field``) are used
as class attributes of `~lsst.pex.config.Config` subclasses (see the
example, below). ``Field`` attributes work like the `property` attributes
of classes that implement custom setters and getters. `Field` attributes
belong to the class, but operate on the instance. Formally speaking,
`Field` attributes are `descriptors
<https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html>`_.

When you access a `Field` attribute on a `Config` instance, you don't
get the `Field` instance itself. Instead, you get the value of that field,
which might be a simple type (`int`, `float`, `str`, `bool`) or a custom
container type (like a `lsst.pex.config.List`) depending on the field's
type. See the example, below.

Fields can be annotated with a type similar to other python classes (python
specification `here <https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#generics>`_ ).
See the name field in the Config example below for an example of this.
Unlike most other uses in python, this has an effect at type checking *and*
runtime. If the type is specified with a class annotation, it will be used
as the value of the ``dtype`` in the ``Field`` and there is no need to
specify it as an argument during instantiation.

There are Some notes on dtype through type annotation syntax. Type
annotation syntax supports supplying the argument as a string of a type
name. i.e. "float", but this cannot be used to resolve circular references.
Type annotation syntax can be used on an identifier in addition to Class
assignment i.e. ``variable: Field[str] = Config.someField`` vs
``someField = Field[str](doc="some doc"). However, this syntax is only
useful for annotating the type of the identifier (i.e. variable in previous
example) and does nothing for assigning the dtype of the ``Field``.

Examples
--------
Instances of ``Field`` should be used as class attributes of
`lsst.pex.config.Config` subclasses:

>>> from lsst.pex.config import Config, Field
>>> class Example(Config):
...     myInt = Field("An integer field.", int, default=0)
...     name = Field[str](doc="A string Field")
...
>>> print(config.myInt)
0
>>> config.myInt = 5
>>> print(config.myInt)
5

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.
value : obj
    Value to set on this field.
at : `list` of `~lsst.pex.config.callStack.StackFrame` or `None`,\

label : `str`, optional
    Event label for the history.

Notes
-----
This method is invoked by the owning `lsst.pex.config.Config` object
and should not be called directly.

Derived `~lsst.pex.config.Field` classes may need to override the
behavior. When overriding ``__set__``, `~lsst.pex.config.Field` authors
should follow the following rules:

- Do not allow modification of frozen configs.
- Validate the new value **before** modifying the field. Except if the
  new value is `None`. `None` is special and no attempt should be made
  to validate it until `lsst.pex.config.Config.validate` is called.
- Do not modify the `~lsst.pex.config.Config` instance to contain
  invalid values.
- If the field is modified, update the history of the
  `lsst.pex.config.field.Field` to reflect the changes.

In order to decrease the need to implement this method in derived
`~lsst.pex.config.Field` types, value validation is performed in the
`lsst.pex.config.Field._validateValue`. If only the validation step
differs in the derived `~lsst.pex.config.Field`, it is simpler to
implement `lsst.pex.config.Field._validateValue` than to reimplement
``__set__``. More complicated behavior, however, may require
reimplementation.

◆ _parseTypingArgs()

Mapping[str, Any] lsst.pex.config.config.Field._parseTypingArgs	(	tuple[type, ...] \| tuple[str, ...]	params,

Parse type annotations into keyword constructor arguments.

This is a special private method that interprets type arguments (i.e.
Field[str]) into keyword arguments to be passed on to the constructor.

Subclasses of Field can implement this method to customize how they
handle turning type parameters into keyword arguments (see DictField
for an example)

Parameters
----------
params : `tuple` of `type` or `tuple` of str
    Parameters passed to the type annotation. These will either be
    types or strings. Strings are to interpreted as forward references
    and will be treated as such.
kwds : `MutableMapping` with keys of `str` and values of `Any`
    These are the user supplied keywords that are to be passed to the
    Field constructor.

Returns
-------
kwds : `MutableMapping` with keys of `str` and values of `Any`
    The mapping of keywords that will be passed onto the constructor
    of the Field. Should be filled in with any information gleaned
    from the input parameters.

Raises
------
ValueError
    Raised if params is of incorrect length.
    Raised if a forward reference could not be resolved
    Raised if there is a conflict between params and values in kwds

◆ save()

lsst.pex.config.config.Field.save	(	self,

Save this field to a file (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
outfile : file-like object
    A writeable field handle.
instance : `~lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The `~lsst.pex.config.Config` instance that contains this field.

Notes

◆ toDict()

lsst.pex.config.config.Field.toDict	(		self,
			instance )

Convert the field value so that it can be set as the value of an
item in a `dict` (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
instance : `~lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The `~lsst.pex.config.Config` that contains this field.

Returns
-------
value : object
    The field's value. See *Notes*.

Notes
-----
This method invoked by the owning `~lsst.pex.config.Config` object and
should not be called directly.

Simple values are passed through. Complex data structures must be
manipulated. For example, a `~lsst.pex.config.Field` holding a
subconfig should, instead of the subconfig object, return a `dict`
where the keys are the field names in the subconfig, and the values are
the field values in the subconfig.

◆ validate()

lsst.pex.config.config.Field.validate	(		self,

Validate the field (for internal use only).

Parameters
----------
instance : `lsst.pex.config.Config`
    The config instance that contains this field.

Raises
------
lsst.pex.config.FieldValidationError
    Raised if verification fails.

Notes
-----
This method provides basic validation:

- Ensures that the value is not `None` if the field is not optional.
- Ensures type correctness.
- Ensures that the user-provided ``check`` function is valid.

Most `~lsst.pex.config.Field` subclasses should call
`lsst.pex.config.Field.validate` if they re-implement
`~lsst.pex.config.Field.validate`.
