config_volumizer

Description

Ever wanted to move to ENV based 12 Factor config but are stuck with somewhat complex yaml (or simillar) files holding all your settings?

Been scratching your head how to convert your deeply nested config to ENV?

Config Volumizer comes to the rescue.

Convert this:

some:
  setting:
    - one
    - two
    - three
  with:
    another: setting

info a series of ENV variables like so:

some.setting[0] = one
some.setting[1] = two
some.setting[2] = three
some.with.another = setting

... and then just give it some volume with the volumizer to turn it back to the original rich structure

ConfigVolumizer.parse(ENV, 'some')

You can parse a flattened config via ConfigVolumizer.parse(ENV, 'some')

For example if your ENV was:

some.setting[0] = one
some.setting[1] = two
some.setting[2] = three
some.with.another = setting

This would yield a Hash like the following:

some:
  setting:
    - one
    - two
    - three
  with:
    another: setting

You can generate a flat list of configs (mostly as examples for your actual config) via: ConfigVolumizer.generate(data_hash)

For example, given a hash simillar to:

some:
  setting:
    - one
    - two
    - three
  with:
    another: setting

You would get back a hash looking like this:

"some.setting[0]": one
"some.setting[1]": two
"some.setting[2]": three
"some.with.another": setting

Add it to your gemfile and use it.
