# Creating a Configuration File

## YAML

Creating a single configuration file

<pre class="language-java" data-title="Example" data-overflow="wrap"><code class="lang-java"><strong>// Create a new instance of the configuration.
</strong><strong>Configuration configuration = new YamlConfiguration(
</strong><strong>    new File("src/main/resources"), "test.yml"
</strong><strong>);
</strong><strong>
</strong><strong>// This file will be copied from the resources folder 
</strong><strong>// if the configuration doesn't exist.
</strong><strong>configuration.setDefaultPath("test_default.yml");
</strong><strong>
</strong><strong>// Load the configuration file into memory.
</strong>configuration.load();

// Set a new value.
configuration.set("test", "test");

// Save the memory to the configuration file.
configuration.save();
</code></pre>

Creating a configuration factory

{% code title="Example" overflow="wrap" %}

```java
// Creating the configuration factory.
// The factory can be used to change the type of configuration file
// with one variable.
ConfigurationFactory factory = ConfigurationFactory.YAML;

// Used to create a configuration file.
Configuration configuration1 = factory.create(
    new File("src/main/resources"), "test1"
);

// Used to create a configuration file.
Configuration configuration2 = factory.create(
    new File("src/main/resources"), "test2"
);

configuration1.load();
configuration1.set("test", "test");
configuration1.save();

configuration2.load();
configuration2.set("test", "test");
configuration2.save();
```

{% endcode %}

## TOML

Creating a single configuration file

```java
// Create a new instance of the configuration.
Configuration configuration = new TomlConfiguration(
    new File("src/main/resources"), "test.toml"
);

// Load the configuration file into memory.
configuration.load();

// Set a new value.
configuration.set("test", "test");

// Save the memory to the configuration file.
configuration.save();
```

Creating a configuration factory

```java
// Creating the configuration factory.
// The factory can be used to change the type of configuration file
// with one variable.
ConfigurationFactory factory = ConfigurationFactory.TOML;

// Used to create a configuration file.
Configuration configuration1 = factory.create(
    new File("src/main/resources"), "test1"
);

// Used to create a configuration file.
Configuration configuration2 = factory.create(
    new File("src/main/resources"), "test2"
);

configuration1.load();
configuration1.set("test", "test");
configuration1.save();

configuration2.load();
configuration2.set("test", "test");
configuration2.save();
```
