NAME

Config::ZOMG - Yet Another Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader-style layer over Config::Any

VERSION

version 1.000000

DESCRIPTION

Config::ZOMG is a fork of Config::JFDI. It removes a couple of unusual features and passes the same tests three times faster than Config::JFDI.

Config::ZOMG is an implementation of Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader that exists outside of Catalyst.

Config::ZOMG will scan a directory for files matching a certain name. If such a file is found which also matches an extension that Config::Any can read, then the configuration from that file will be loaded.

Config::ZOMG will also look for special files that end with a _local suffix. Files with this special suffix will take precedence over any other existing configuration file, if any. The precedence takes place by merging the local configuration with the "standard" configuration via Hash::Merge::Simple.

Finally you can override/modify the path search from outside your application, by setting the ${NAME}_CONFIG variable outside your application (where $NAME is the uppercase version of what you passed to Config::ZOMG->new).

SYNPOSIS

use Config::ZOMG;

my $config = Config::ZOMG->new(
  name => 'my_application',
  path => 'path/to/my/application',
);
my $config_hash = $config->load;

This will look for something like (depending on what Config::Any will find):

path/to/my/application/my_application_local.{yml,yaml,cnf,conf,jsn,json,...}

and

path/to/my/application/my_application.{yml,yaml,cnf,conf,jsn,json,...}

... and load the found configuration information appropiately, with _local taking precedence.

You can also specify a file directly:

my $config = Config::ZOMG->new(file => '/path/to/my/application/my_application.cnf');

To later reload your configuration:

$config->reload;

METHODS

new

$config = Config::ZOMG->new(...)

Returns a new Config::ZOMG object

You can configure the $config object by passing the following to new:

name

The name specifying the prefix of the configuration file to look for and the ENV variable to read. This can be a package name. In any case, :: will be substituted with _ in name and the result will be lowercased. To prevent modification of name, pass it in as a scalar reference.

path

The directory to search in

file

Directly read the configuration from this file. Config::Any must recognize the extension. Setting this will override path

no_local

Disable lookup of a local configuration. The local_suffix option will be ignored. Off by default

local_suffix

The suffix to match when looking for a local configuration. local by default

no_env

Set this to ignore ENV. env_lookup will be ignored. Off by default

env_lookup

Additional ENV to check if $ENV{<NAME>...} is not found

driver

A hash consisting of Config:: driver information. This is passed directly through to Config::Any

default

A hash filled with default keys/values

open

$config_hash = Config::ZOMG->open( ... )

As an alternative way to load a config open will pass given arguments to "new" then attempt to do "load"

Unlike "load" if no configuration files are found open will return undef (or the empty list)

This is so you can do something like:

my $config_hash = Config::ZOMG->open( '/path/to/application.cnf' )
  or die "Couldn't find config file!"

In scalar context open will return the config hash, not the config object. If you want the config object call open in list context:

my ($config_hash, $config) = Config::ZOMG->open( ... )

You can pass any arguments to open that you would to "new"

load

$config->load

Load a config as specified by "new" and ENV and return a hash

This will only load the configuration once, so it's safe to call multiple times without incurring any loading-time penalty

found

$config->found

Returns a list of files found

If the list is empty then no files were loaded/read

find

$config->find

Returns a list of files that configuration will be loaded from. Use this method to check whether configuration files have changed, without actually reloading.

clone

$config->clone

Return a clone of the configuration hash using Clone

This will load the configuration first, if it hasn't already

reload

$config->reload

Reload the configuration, examining ENV and scanning the path anew

Returns a hash of the configuration
