    the arguments passed to the providers constructor

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if an invalid provider is given

def add_provider(provider, *args)
  unless provider.respond_to?(:instance_methods) && provider.instance_methods.include?(:lookup)

  end

  @provider << provider.new(*args)
end

#lookup(setting, *args) ⇒ Array, ... Also known as: []

Tries all providers in the order they were added to provide a response for setting.

Parameters:

  • setting (SettingPath, String) —

    nested settings as strings should be separated by a dot

  • ... —

    further args passed to the provider

Returns:

  • (Array, Hash, String, Boolean, nil) —

    whatever the responding provider provides is casted to a String, except for some special values
