Lita Dotenv Config Loader

lita_dotenv is designed to allow storing an entire Lita bot config in an .env file including the following:

map environment variables to Lita config properties
coerce environment variable value types to Ruby types
load .env file if exists

The lita_config.rb file should be as simple as:

require 'lita_dotenv'

Lita.configure do |config|
  config = LitaDotenv.new(config).config
end

Installation

Add lita_dotenv to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem "lita_dotenv"

Configuration

.env

DotenvConfig uses a simple parser that follows the following rules for assigning ENV variable names to Lita paths:

all paths begin with LITA_
all paths are designed to match Lita configure paths
optional type coercion is available by setting the type as a suffix:
1. Symbol: __TYPESYM
2. Boolean: __TYPEBOOL
3. Integer: __TYPEINT
4. JSON: __TYPEJSON
5. JSON with symbole keys: __TYPEJSONSYM
underscores are handled in paths by using camelCase starting with a lowercase letter where an underscore is inserted before each uppercase letter

LITA_ROBOT_NAME=Configbot          # config.robot.name = 'Configbot'
LITA_ROBOT_LOCALE__TYPESYM=en      # config.robot.locale = :en
LITA_ROBOT_logLevel__TYPESYM=info  # config.robot.log_level = :info

lita_config.rb

In the ideal case, the lita_config.rb file should be as simple as:

require 'lita_dotenv'

Lita.configure do |config|
  config = LitaDotenv.new(config).config
end

To Do

Map config hash key values, e.g. config.redis[:url]
