*******************
The settings file
*******************
The file ``settings.yaml`` defines the properties of a collection.
It is a yaml file with a dict of properties and their values.
``name``:
the human readable name of the collection.
``lang``:
the language of the collection; valid values are listed in the
`xapian stemmer`_ documentation and are usually either the English
name or the two letter ISO639 code of a language.
``entry_label``:
a jinja2 template used to show an entry in the interface; beside the
entry fields two useful variables are ``eid`` for the full entry ID
and ``short_id`` for the short version.
``default_sort``:
a list of field names (possibly prefixed by + or -) that are used by
default to sort results of searches in the collection.
The fields must be marked as sortable in their definition, see below.
``fields``:
The list of fields used by the collection, as described below.
.. _`xapian stemmer`: https://xapian.org/docs/apidoc/html/classXapian_1_1Stem.html
Field definitions
=================
``name``:
a name for the field (computer readable: keeping it lowercase
alphabetic ascii is probably safer).
``type``:
the type of the field: valid fields are listed in
:doc:`/reference/lesana.types` (see the ``name`` property for each
field)
``index``:
whether this field should be indexed: valid values are ``free`` for
fields that should be available in the free text search and ``field``
for fields that should only be available by specifying the field name
in the search.
``sortable``:
boolean; whether this field is sortable. Sortable fields enable
sorting the results and search by ranges, but having too many
sortable fields make the search more resurce intensive.
``help``:
a description for the field; this is e.g. added to new entries as a
comment.
``default``:
the default value to use when creating an entry.
``prefix``:
the optional term prefix used inside xapian: if you don't know what
this means you should avoid using this, otherwise see `Term
Prefixes`_ on the xapian documentation for details.
.. _`Term Prefixes`: https://xapian.org/docs/omega/termprefixes.html
Some field types may add other custom properties.
``list`` properties
-------------------
``list``:
the type of the entries in the list; note that neither lists of non
uniform values nor lists of lists are supported (if you need those
you can use the ``yaml`` generic type, or write your own derivative
with an additional type).
