Foundry

An application configuration gem that aims to keep it simple

Let's face it, there are a number of problems when application/environment configuration logic is too tightly coupled with the configuration-data itself. This gem aims to keep it simple and fully decouple the two concerns.

Features:

• Can load YAML from a local-file
• Can load YAML from a HTTP/HTTPS endpoint
• Supports Basic Authentication for HTTP,S endpoints
• Supports ERB interpolation
• Returns an easy to navigate object-graph

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'foundry'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install foundry

Usage

Loading from a local-file:

config = Foundry::Configurator.configure(:file_name => 'path-to-local-file')

Loading from a HTTP/HTTPS endpoint:

config = Foundry::Configurator.configure(:uri => 'http-or-https-endpoint')

Loading from a HTTP/HTTPS endpoint using "Basic Authentication":

config = Foundry::Configurator.configure(
  :uri => 'http-or-https-endpoint',
  :username => 'basic-auth-username',
  :password => 'basic-auth-password'
)

Using the "config" object (defined above):

# The examples below assume that the following YAML was loaded by a call to
# "Foundry::Configurator.configure" and into a variable named "config"
#
# ---
# some_key:
#   some_nested_key: value

# Fetch a value using dot-notation
value = config.some_key.some_nested_key

# Fetch a value by key
value = config['some_key']['some_nested_key']
