29//! # Parameters
30//!
31//! Allows to update configuration parameters at runtime.
32//!
33//! ## Pallet API
34//!
35//! This pallet exposes two APIs; one *inbound* side to update parameters, and one *outbound* side
36//! to access said parameters. Parameters themselves are defined in the runtime config and will be
37//! aggregated into an enum. Each parameter is addressed by a `key` and can have a default value.
38//! This is not done by the pallet but through the [`frame_support::dynamic_params::dynamic_params`]
39//! macro or alternatives.
40//!
41//! Note that this is incurring one storage read per access. This should not be a problem in most
42//! cases but must be considered in weight-restrained code.
43//!
44//! ### Inbound
45//!
46//! The inbound side solely consists of the [`Pallet::set_parameter`] extrinsic to update the value
47//! of a parameter. Each parameter can have their own admin origin as given by the
48//! [`Config::AdminOrigin`].
49//!
50//! ### Outbound
51//!
52//! The outbound side is runtime facing for the most part. More general, it provides a `Get`
53//! implementation and can be used in every spot where that is accepted. Two macros are in place:
54//! [`frame_support::dynamic_params::define_parameters` and
55//! [`frame_support::dynamic_params:dynamic_pallet_params`] to define and expose parameters in a
56//! typed manner.
57//!
58//! See the [`pallet`] module for more information about the interfaces this pallet exposes,
59//! including its configuration trait, dispatchables, storage items, events and errors.
60//!
61//! ## Overview
62//!
63//! This pallet is a good fit for updating parameters without a runtime upgrade. It is very handy to
64//! not require a runtime upgrade for a simple parameter change since runtime upgrades require a lot
65//! of diligence and always bear risks. It seems overkill to update the whole runtime for a simple
66//! parameter change. This pallet allows for fine-grained control over who can update what.
67//! The only down-side is that it trades off performance with convenience and should therefore only
68//! be used in places where that is proven to be uncritical. Values that are rarely accessed but
69//! change often would be a perfect fit.
70//!
71//! ### Example Configuration
72//!
73//! Here is an example of how to define some parameters, including their default values:
74#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/mock.rs", dynamic_params)]
75//! A permissioned origin can be define on a per-key basis like this:
76#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/mock.rs", custom_origin)]
77//! The pallet will also require a default value for benchmarking. Ideally this is the variant with
78//! the longest encoded length. Although in either case the PoV benchmarking will take the worst
79//! case over the whole enum.
80#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/mock.rs", benchmarking_default)]
81//! Now the aggregated parameter needs to be injected into the pallet config:
82#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/mock.rs", impl_config)]
83//! As last step, the parameters can now be used in other pallets 🙌
84#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/mock.rs", usage)]
85//! ### Examples Usage
86//!
87//! Now to demonstrate how the values can be updated:
88#![doc = docify::embed!("src/tests/unit.rs", set_parameters_example)]
89//! ## Low Level / Implementation Details
90//!
91//! The pallet stores the parameters in a storage map and implements the matching `Get<Value>` for
92//! each `Key` type. The `Get` then accesses the `Parameters` map to retrieve the value. An event is
93//! emitted every time that a value was updated. It is even emitted when the value is changed to the
94//! same.
95//!
96//! The key and value types themselves are defined by macros and aggregated into a runtime wide
97//! enum. This enum is then injected into the pallet. This allows it to be used without any changes
98//! to the pallet that the parameter will be utilized by.
99//!
100//! ### Design Goals
101//!
102//! 1. Easy to update without runtime upgrade.
103//! 2. Exposes metadata and docs for user convenience.
104//! 3. Can be permissioned on a per-key base.
105//!
106//! ### Design
107//!
108//! 1. Everything is done at runtime without the need for `const` values. `Get` allows for this -
109//! which is coincidentally an upside and a downside. 2. The types are defined through macros, which
110//! allows to expose metadata and docs. 3. Access control is done through the `EnsureOriginWithArg`
111//! trait, that allows to pass data along to the origin check. It gets passed in the key. The
112//! implementor can then match on the key and the origin to decide whether the origin is
113//! permissioned to set the value.
