Runtime configurations apply to a certain network and the name of that network is useful for humans such that they can talk about it. Some of the existing configs already include a `CONFIG_NAME` toggle - might as well add it here as well and avoid some confusion - this name above all becomes useful in the beacon API. By extension, the `CONFIG_NAME` config will appear in the beacon api as a result of being defined here.
Consensus specs config util
For run-time configuration, see Configs documentation.
For compile-time presets, see Presets documentation
and the build-targets flag for the pyspec distutils command.
Config usage:
from eth2spec.config import config_util
from eth2spec.phase0 import mainnet as spec
from pathlib import Path
# To load the default configurations
config_util.load_defaults(Path("consensus-specs/configs")) # change path to point to equivalent of specs `configs` dir.
# After loading the defaults, a config can be chosen: 'mainnet', 'minimal', or custom network config (by file path)
spec.config = spec.Configuration(**config_util.load_config_file(Path('mytestnet.yaml')))
Note: previously the testnet config files included both preset and runtime-configuration data. The new config loader is compatible with this: all config vars are loaded from the file, but those that have become presets can be ignored.
