App Config

Summary Application level configuration. Author Christopher J. Bottaro

=== Accessing the AppConfig object After installing this plugin, the AppConfig object will be global available. Entries are accessed via object member notation: AppConfig.my_config_entry Nested entries are supported: AppConfig.my_section.some_entry

=== Common config file Config entries defined in RAILS_ROOT/config/app_config.yml will be available to all environments.

=== Environment specific config files You can have environment specific config files. Environment specific config entries take precedence over common config entries.

Example development environment config file: RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/development.yml

Example production environment config file: RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/production.yml

=== Embedded Ruby (ERB) Embedded Ruby is allowed in the configuration files. See examples below.

=== Examples Consider the two following config files.

RAILS_ROOT/config/app_config.yml: size: 1 server: google.com

RAILS_ROOT/config/environments/development.yml: size: 2 computed: <%= 1 + 2 + 3 %> section: size: 3 servers: [ {name: yahoo.com}, {name: amazon.com} ]

Notice that the environment specific config entries overwrite the common entries. AppConfig.size -> 2 AppConfig.server -> google.com

Notice the embedded Ruby. AppConfig.computed -> 6

Notice that object member notation is maintained even in nested entries. AppConfig.section.size -> 3

Notice array notation and object member notation is maintained. AppConfig.section.servers⁰.name -> yahoo.com AppConfig.section.servers¹.name -> amazon.com
