Settings.full


Description:

public Settings.full (SettingsSchema schema, SettingsBackend? backend, string? path)

Creates a new Settings object with a given schema, backend and path.

It should be extremely rare that you ever want to use this function. It is made available for advanced use-cases (such as plugin systems that want to provide access to schemas loaded from custom locations, etc).

At the most basic level, a Settings object is a pure composition of 4 things: a SettingsSchema, a SettingsBackend , a path within that backend, and a MainContext to which signals are dispatched.

This constructor therefore gives you full control over constructing Settings instances. The first 4 parameters are given directly as schema, backend and path, and the main context is taken from the thread-default (as per Settings).

If backend is null then the default backend is used.

If path is null then the path from the schema is used. It is an error f path is null and the schema has no path of its own or if path is non- null and not equal to the path that the schema does have.

Parameters:

schema

a SettingsSchema

backend

a SettingsBackend

path

the path to use

Returns:

a new Settings object
