Feature files
The files of Identica's features, and how per-provider settings inherit from them.
Each feature keeps its files under features/<feature>/: settings.yml, and messages.yml and commands.yml when it has messages or commands. Join restriction is nested under features/restriction/join/. Features explains what each feature does.
Per-provider settings
A provider's entry in providers/providers.yml can set its own value for a feature under features. What it leaves out comes from the feature's shared settings:
| Feature | Shared settings | Per provider | Inherits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recognition | features/recognition/settings | features.recognition | enabled, and defaultSignals for signals |
| Restriction | features/restriction/settings | features.restriction.enabled | enabled |
| Join restriction | features/restriction/join/settings | features.restriction.join | enabled, allow |
| Sentinel | features/sentinel/settings | features.sentinel.enabled | enabled |
| Verification | features/verification/settings | features.verification | everything under defaults |
enabled: false for a provider turns the feature off for that provider only, and enabled: true turns it on even when the shared value is false. A provider's features.restriction.enabled: false turns off join restriction for it too.
A provider has to support a feature. Turning on a feature for a provider that does not support it stops that provider from loading. Both official providers support every feature.
