ConfigSpartan

Ultra simple application configuration (app config) gem with the following features:

• YAML config files
• ERB support in config files
• Inheritance
• Object member notation to access config options

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'config_spartan'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install config_spartan

Usage

If you are using in a Rails app, you can do something like this...

# config/base.yml
app_name:  MyCoolApp
domain:  mycoolapp.com
lib_dir: <%= Rails.root + "/lib" %>
aws:
  access_key: 123ABC
  secret_key: ABC123

# config/development.yml
domain:  dev.mycoolapp.com

# app/models/app_config.rb
AppConfig = ConfigSpartan.create do
  file "#{Rails.root}/config/base.yml"
  file "#{Rails.root}/config/#{Rails.env}.yml"
end

In ConfigSpartan.create, you can call file as many times as you want. Each time, the configuration options from that file will be deep merged into the existing configuration object.

Now fire up a Rails console (using the development environment)...

> AppConfig.lib_dir
=> "/Users/cjbottaro/my_cool_app/lib"
> AppConfig.aws.access_key
=> "123ABC"
> AppConfig["aws"]["secret_key"]
=> "ABC123"
> AppConfig.domain
=> "dev.mycoolapp.com"
