Overview

A configuration directory manager that handles path resolution and file operations within a specified directory structure.

This class provides functionality for managing configuration directories by deriving paths based on a root directory and name, and offering methods to read files with optional default values and block handling. It supports environment variable-based root path resolution and uses Pathname for robust path manipulation.

Examples:

config_dir = Utils::ConfigDir.new('myapp')
config_dir.to_s # => returns the string representation of the configuration directory path
config_dir.join('config.txt') # => returns a Pathname object for the joined path
config_dir.read('settings.rb') # => reads and returns the content of 'settings.rb' or nil if not found
config_dir.read('missing.txt', default: 'default content') # => returns 'default content' if file is missing

#initialize(name, root_path: nil, env_var: nil) ⇒ ConfigDir

Memoizes the foobar method’s return value and returns the result of the computation. Initializes a new ConfigDir instance with the specified name and optional root path or environment variable.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the directory to be used

  • root_path (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the root path to use; if nil, the default root path is used

  • env_var (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the name of the environment variable to check for the root path

Instance Method Details

#join(path) ⇒ Pathname Also known as: +

Joins the directory path with the given path and returns the combined result.

Parameters:

  • path (String) —

    the path to be joined with the directory path

Returns:

  • (Pathname) —

    the combined path as a Pathname object

def join(path)
  @directory_path + path
end

#read(path, default: nil) {|io| ... } ⇒ String?

Reads the content of a file at the given path within the configuration directory.

If the file exists, it returns the file’s content as a string encoded in UTF-8. If a block is given and the file exists, it opens the file and yields to the block. If the file does not exist and a default value is provided, it returns the default. If a block is given and the file does not exist, it yields a StringIO object containing the default value to the block.

directory does not exist

the file does not exist

Parameters:

  • path (String) —

    the path to the file relative to the configuration

  • default (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the default value to return if the file

Yields:

  • (io)

Returns:

  • (String, nil) —

    the content of the file or the default value if

#to_s ⇒ String

Returns:

  • (String) —
