Config

Configuration manager with default Env, Json and Memory driver.

Mote: Config use Caster for get dependencies by type.

Create New Config Driver

Config library contains three different driver by default.

Env Driver

Env driver use environment file (.env) for managing configuration.

import "github.com/bopher/config"
envConf, err := config.NewEnvConfig("app.env", "db.env", ".env")

JSON Driver

JSON driver use json file for managing configuration.

Caution: When you pass multiple file, for accessing config you must pass file name as first part of config path!

import "github.com/bopher/config"
jsonConf, err := config.NewJSONConfig("app.json", "db.json", "global.json")

Memory Driver

Use in-memory array for keeping and managing configuration.

import "github.com/bopher/config"
memConf, err := config.NewMemoryConfig(map[string]interface{}{
    "name": "My First App",
    "key": "My Secret Key",
})

Usage

Config interface contains following methods:

Load

Load/Reload configurations.

// Signature:
Load() error

// Example
err := envConf.Load()

Set

Set configuration item. this function override preloaded config.

// Signature:
Set(key string, value interface{}) error

// Example
err := memConf.Set("name", "My App")
err = envConf.Set("APP_NAME", "My App")
err = jsonConf.Set("app_name", "My App")

Cation: For setting/overriding config item in JSON driver with multiple files pass filename as first part of config path.

import "github.com/bopher/config"
jsonConf, err := config.NewJSONConfig("file1.json", "file2.json")
err = jsonConf.Set("file1.app.title", "Some")

Get

Get configuration. Get function return config item as interface{}. if you need get config with type use helper get functions described later.

// Signature:
Get(key string) interface{}

Caution: For JSON driver with multiple file you must pass filename as first part of config path!

item := jsonConf.Get("file1.app.title")

Exists

Check if config item exists.

// Signature:
Exists(key string) bool

Cast

Parse config as caster.

// Signature:
Cast(name string) caster.Caster

// Example:
v, err := conf.Cast("timeout").Int()
