add_calc_comment(key, comment, calc_id)

Add a calculated comment to be injected during serialization.

WARNING: This function can leave outdated calculations in comments after serialization. Recommended to use add_calc_routine() instead.

Calculated comments are for user information and will be formatted to be skipped by the parser when reading the file. This is useful for comments that should be recalculated and refreshed during saving/serialization, like weight percentages or summaries.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
key	str	attribute to attach the calculated comment to. Comments appear above their attached attributes in FOS format.	required
comment	str	comment text without comment formatting (don't include // or !)	required
calc_id	str	unique identifier for the calculated comment. If it matches an existing comment (like when refreshing a value), the comment is overwritten	required

serialize(keepListType=False, shallow=False, clean=False, **kwargs)

Return a recursively serialized dict representation of self.

Fully serialized SingleBlocks are a single dict that can be passed to another constructor or emitted into lines for a FOS file. Serialized values at any nest level are either dicts, lists, or strings to allow full type-coersion when reconstructing or simplified emission when writing files.

Serialized dict is deep copied to prevent object mutation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keepListType	bool	When True, maintains its current FOS printing mode (looped keys or explicit key:value lines), instead of explicit default	False
shallow	bool	When True, no recursive serialization occurs. Recommended when serialization is used only to inspect top-level keys.	False
clean	bool	When True, no FOS format read/write metadata is included in the serial. Recommended for sending output to other formats like JSON.	False

Private attributes starting with "_" are either skipped or unpacked in special cases:

• _key_order: attributes are added to the serialized dict in the order they appear in this list.

• _calc_comments: calculated comments are attached to their mapped attribute after serialization to avoid mutation of object comments

• _calc_routines: A list of functions scheduled to be called right before serialization to update _calc_comments. Scheduling calc routines ensures that their calculated values are up-to-date.

• _meta: attributes of this container are given their own private _keys mapped by FoSpy.parsing.syntax.meta_keys in the serialized dict.

• _key_overrides: per-instance override mapping that tracks which unexpected attributes require $alias suffixes.

• _aliases: maps attribute names to alias tags used to emit $alias suffixed keys.

• _reserved: attribute names in reserved are non-private attributes which should not be serialized. This usually applies to the ext attribute or methods attached after construction.

setup_dispatch(from_key=None, allow_self=True, _dispatch_from=None, _defaults={}) staticmethod

Decorate a class to dispatch to other classes during construction.

The decorated class's add_dispatch method will be wrapped into a new method, dispatch_subclass, which is decorator as a dispatcher. The parent class's from_key is found in the blockDict passed to the constructor, and the value mapped to from_key is mapped to dispatchable subclasses in the registry.

add_dispatch returns a dictionary of values that are injected into the blockDict, either to be detected by dispatch, or to be delegated to the constructor.

This decorator should only be used directly for the start of a dispatch chain. For later dispatches, use register_dispatch

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	SingleBlock subclass	The class to be decorated. If provided, the decorator is most likely being called as a bare decorator. Otherwise, the decorators is being called with other keyword arguments and returns the modified decorator.	None
from_key	str	The key to be located in the blockDict after optional injection by add_dispatch. Private from_keys will be injected and located under the __dispatch__ key which is popped before final construction.	None
allow_self	bool	When True, the decorated class will dispatch to itself if no subclasses can be found. When False, error is raised during construction if dispatchable subclass is not found.	True
_dispatch_from	SingleBlock subclass	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populate this class's registry. Identifies the parent class that the constructor must start at. If not provided, the decorated class is assumed to be the start of a dispatch chain.	None
_defaults	dict	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populat this class's registry. Provides default values that should be injected into the blockDict when trying to guarantee dispatching to the decorated class (usually by a template constructor).	{}

serialize(keepListType=False, shallow=False, clean=False, **kwargs)

Return a recursively serialized dict representation of self.

Fully serialized SingleBlocks are a single dict that can be passed to another constructor or emitted into lines for a FOS file. Serialized values at any nest level are either dicts, lists, or strings to allow full type-coersion when reconstructing or simplified emission when writing files.

Serialized dict is deep copied to prevent object mutation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keepListType	bool	When True, maintains its current FOS printing mode (looped keys or explicit key:value lines), instead of explicit default	False
shallow	bool	When True, no recursive serialization occurs. Recommended when serialization is used only to inspect top-level keys.	False
clean	bool	When True, no FOS format read/write metadata is included in the serial. Recommended for sending output to other formats like JSON.	False

Private attributes starting with "_" are either skipped or unpacked in special cases:

• _key_order: attributes are added to the serialized dict in the order they appear in this list.

• _calc_comments: calculated comments are attached to their mapped attribute after serialization to avoid mutation of object comments

• _calc_routines: A list of functions scheduled to be called right before serialization to update _calc_comments. Scheduling calc routines ensures that their calculated values are up-to-date.

• _meta: attributes of this container are given their own private _keys mapped by FoSpy.parsing.syntax.meta_keys in the serialized dict.

• _key_overrides: per-instance override mapping that tracks which unexpected attributes require $alias suffixes.

• _aliases: maps attribute names to alias tags used to emit $alias suffixed keys.

• _reserved: attribute names in reserved are non-private attributes which should not be serialized. This usually applies to the ext attribute or methods attached after construction.

setup_dispatch(from_key=None, allow_self=True, _dispatch_from=None, _defaults={}) staticmethod

Decorate a class to dispatch to other classes during construction.

The decorated class's add_dispatch method will be wrapped into a new method, dispatch_subclass, which is decorator as a dispatcher. The parent class's from_key is found in the blockDict passed to the constructor, and the value mapped to from_key is mapped to dispatchable subclasses in the registry.

add_dispatch returns a dictionary of values that are injected into the blockDict, either to be detected by dispatch, or to be delegated to the constructor.

This decorator should only be used directly for the start of a dispatch chain. For later dispatches, use register_dispatch

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	SingleBlock subclass	The class to be decorated. If provided, the decorator is most likely being called as a bare decorator. Otherwise, the decorators is being called with other keyword arguments and returns the modified decorator.	None
from_key	str	The key to be located in the blockDict after optional injection by add_dispatch. Private from_keys will be injected and located under the __dispatch__ key which is popped before final construction.	None
allow_self	bool	When True, the decorated class will dispatch to itself if no subclasses can be found. When False, error is raised during construction if dispatchable subclass is not found.	True
_dispatch_from	SingleBlock subclass	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populate this class's registry. Identifies the parent class that the constructor must start at. If not provided, the decorated class is assumed to be the start of a dispatch chain.	None
_defaults	dict	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populat this class's registry. Provides default values that should be injected into the blockDict when trying to guarantee dispatching to the decorated class (usually by a template constructor).	{}

WARNING: This function can leave outdated calculations in comments after serialization. Recommended to use add_calc_routine() instead.

Calculated comments are for user information and will be formatted to be skipped by the parser when reading the file. This is useful for comments that should be recalculated and refreshed during saving/serialization, like weight percentages or summaries.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
key	str	attribute to attach the calculated comment to. Comments appear above their attached attributes in FOS format.	required
comment	str	comment text without comment formatting (don't include // or !)	required
calc_id	str	unique identifier for the calculated comment. If it matches an existing comment (like when refreshing a value), the comment is overwritten	required

setup_dispatch(from_key=None, allow_self=True, _dispatch_from=None, _defaults={}) staticmethod

Decorate a class to dispatch to other classes during construction.

The decorated class's add_dispatch method will be wrapped into a new method, dispatch_subclass, which is decorator as a dispatcher. The parent class's from_key is found in the blockDict passed to the constructor, and the value mapped to from_key is mapped to dispatchable subclasses in the registry.

add_dispatch returns a dictionary of values that are injected into the blockDict, either to be detected by dispatch, or to be delegated to the constructor.

This decorator should only be used directly for the start of a dispatch chain. For later dispatches, use register_dispatch

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	SingleBlock subclass	The class to be decorated. If provided, the decorator is most likely being called as a bare decorator. Otherwise, the decorators is being called with other keyword arguments and returns the modified decorator.	None
from_key	str	The key to be located in the blockDict after optional injection by add_dispatch. Private from_keys will be injected and located under the __dispatch__ key which is popped before final construction.	None
allow_self	bool	When True, the decorated class will dispatch to itself if no subclasses can be found. When False, error is raised during construction if dispatchable subclass is not found.	True
_dispatch_from	SingleBlock subclass	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populate this class's registry. Identifies the parent class that the constructor must start at. If not provided, the decorated class is assumed to be the start of a dispatch chain.	None
_defaults	dict	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populat this class's registry. Provides default values that should be injected into the blockDict when trying to guarantee dispatching to the decorated class (usually by a template constructor).	{}

serialize(keepListType=False, shallow=False, clean=False, **kwargs)

Return a recursively serialized dict representation of self.

Fully serialized SingleBlocks are a single dict that can be passed to another constructor or emitted into lines for a FOS file. Serialized values at any nest level are either dicts, lists, or strings to allow full type-coersion when reconstructing or simplified emission when writing files.

Serialized dict is deep copied to prevent object mutation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
keepListType	bool	When True, maintains its current FOS printing mode (looped keys or explicit key:value lines), instead of explicit default	False
shallow	bool	When True, no recursive serialization occurs. Recommended when serialization is used only to inspect top-level keys.	False
clean	bool	When True, no FOS format read/write metadata is included in the serial. Recommended for sending output to other formats like JSON.	False

Private attributes starting with "_" are either skipped or unpacked in special cases:

• _key_order: attributes are added to the serialized dict in the order they appear in this list.

• _calc_comments: calculated comments are attached to their mapped attribute after serialization to avoid mutation of object comments

• _calc_routines: A list of functions scheduled to be called right before serialization to update _calc_comments. Scheduling calc routines ensures that their calculated values are up-to-date.

• _meta: attributes of this container are given their own private _keys mapped by FoSpy.parsing.syntax.meta_keys in the serialized dict.

• _key_overrides: per-instance override mapping that tracks which unexpected attributes require $alias suffixes.

• _aliases: maps attribute names to alias tags used to emit $alias suffixed keys.

• _reserved: attribute names in reserved are non-private attributes which should not be serialized. This usually applies to the ext attribute or methods attached after construction.

Decorate a class to dispatch to other classes during construction.

The decorated class's add_dispatch method will be wrapped into a new method, dispatch_subclass, which is decorator as a dispatcher. The parent class's from_key is found in the blockDict passed to the constructor, and the value mapped to from_key is mapped to dispatchable subclasses in the registry.

add_dispatch returns a dictionary of values that are injected into the blockDict, either to be detected by dispatch, or to be delegated to the constructor.

This decorator should only be used directly for the start of a dispatch chain. For later dispatches, use register_dispatch

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
cls	SingleBlock subclass	The class to be decorated. If provided, the decorator is most likely being called as a bare decorator. Otherwise, the decorators is being called with other keyword arguments and returns the modified decorator.	None
from_key	str	The key to be located in the blockDict after optional injection by add_dispatch. Private from_keys will be injected and located under the __dispatch__ key which is popped before final construction.	None
allow_self	bool	When True, the decorated class will dispatch to itself if no subclasses can be found. When False, error is raised during construction if dispatchable subclass is not found.	True
_dispatch_from	SingleBlock subclass	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populate this class's registry. Identifies the parent class that the constructor must start at. If not provided, the decorated class is assumed to be the start of a dispatch chain.	None
_defaults	dict	To be passed only by register_dispatch, which decorates subclasses to populat this class's registry. Provides default values that should be injected into the blockDict when trying to guarantee dispatching to the decorated class (usually by a template constructor).	{}

to_json(filepath=None, clean=True, indent=4, **kwargs)

Converts self into a JSON-formatted string or file.

Serializes and either returns as a JSON-formatted string or saves to a JSON file.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
filepath	pathlike	JSON file save destination. If None, returns JSON-formatted string instead.	None
clean	bool	When True, no FOS format read/write metadata is included in the serial. FOS metadata has no impact on JSON format but may be useful to view in JSON for troubleshooting.	True
indent	int	indent value passed to json.dump for file saving.	4
**kwargs	any	other arguments passed to json.dump for file saving.	{}
