This page describes how to work with options or settings stored in `trac.ini` from your Plugin. Feel free to expand.

Trac plugins don't have access to some kind of global options. Options are only available for plugin components through the `self.config` [wiki:TracDev/PluginDevelopment#Componentmembervariables property]. This property is magically (i.e. implicitly) injected into component when it is created - see [wiki:TracDev/ComponentArchitecture#component_lifecycle activation chapter] for details. `self.config` is an instance of [source:trunk/trac/config.py trac.config.Configuration] class.

=== Get option value

[source:trunk/trac/config.py trac.config.Configuration] is a subclass of [http://docs.python.org/library/configparser.html ConfigParser] from standard Python library, therefore all its methods and more are accessible.

# inside component
