Section class

An abstract class representing a subdivision of the configuration class Config.

The role of the subclasses of this class is to define semantically consistent sets of settings related to a particular aspect of the application.

Here are the various sections in Taipy:

• DataNodeConfig for configuring data nodes.
• TaskConfig for configuring tasks.
• ScenarioConfig for configuring scenarios.
• MigrationConfig for configuring data migration within the Taipy version management.

Each Section implementation is defined by a section name (related to the objects they configure), a unique identifier, and a set of properties.

Some of the Section implementations are designed to be unique, meaning only one instance can exist. They are subclasses of the UniqueSection abstract class such as:

• GlobalAppConfig for configuring global application settings.
• _GuiConfig for configuring the GUI service.
• CoreSection for configuring the core package behavior.
• JobConfig for configuring the job orchestration.
• AuthenticationConfig for configuring authentication settings.
