# Mirage Config
Version 1.0.0
Copyright 2022 Mike Bierlee
Licensed under the terms of the MIT license - See [LICENSE.txt](LICENSE.txt)
[![DUB Package](https://img.shields.io/dub/v/mirage-config.svg)](https://code.dlang.org/packages/mirage-config)
Toolkit for loading and using application configuration from various formats.
Features:
- Load from various file formats such as JSON, INI and Java properties (see [Formats](#formats));
- Environment variable substitution;
- Internal configuration substitution (Value in config replaced by other path in config);
- Parse configuration from string or JSONValue instead of from disk.
## Getting started
### DUB Dependency
See the [DUB project page](https://code.dlang.org/packages/mirage-config) for instructions on how to include Mirage Config into your project.
### Quickstart
```d
import std.stdio : writeln;
import mirage : loadConfig, parseJavaProperties;
void main() {
// Load configuration from file (see examples/quickstart/config.json)
auto config = loadConfig("config.json");
writeln(config.get("application.name"));
writeln(config.get!long("application.version"));
// Or parse directly from string
auto ini = parseIniConfig("
databaseDriver = Postgres
[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432
");
auto databaseConfig = ini.getConfig("database");
writeln(ini.get("databaseDriver"));
writeln(databaseConfig.get("host"));
writeln(databaseConfig.get("port"));
}
```
More formats are available (see [Formats](#formats).)
For more details and examples, see the [examples](examples) directory.
## Formats
The following file formats are currently supported:
| Format | Extension | Import<sup>*</sup> | Loader | Parser | Factory |
|-------------|-------------|--------------------|---------------------------|---------------------------------|-------------------------|
| _any below_ | _any below_ | `mirage` | `loadConfig`<sup>**</sup> | _(N/A)_ | |
| INI | .ini | `mirage.ini` | `loadIniConfig` | `parseIniConfig` | `IniConfigFactory` |
| Java | .properties | `mirage.java` | `loadJavaProperties` | `parseJavaProperties` | `JavaPropertiesFactory` |
| JSON | .json | `mirage.json` | `loadJsonConfig` | `parseJsonConfig`<sup>***</sup> | `JsonConfigFactory` |
<sup>\*</sup> _Any loader or parser can be imported from the `mirage` package since they are all publicly imported._
<sup>\*\*</sup> _Loads files based on their extension. If the file does not use one of the extensions in the table, you must use a specific loader._
<sup>\*\*\*</sup> _Besides parsing strings like the other formats, it also accepts a `JSONValue`._
Documentation
-------------
You can generate documentation from the source code using DUB:
```
dub build --build=ddox
```
The documentation can then be found in docs/
