NAME Clustericious::Config - Configuration files for Clustericious nodes. VERSION version 0.30 SYNOPSIS In your ~/etc/MyApp.conf file: --- % extends_config 'global'; % extends_config 'hypnotoad', url => 'http://localhost:9999', app => 'MyApp'; url : http://localhost:9999 start_mode : hypnotoad hypnotoad : - heartbeat_timeout : 500 arbitrary_key: value In your ~/etc/globa.conf file: --- somevar : somevalue In your ~/etc/hypnotoad.conf: listen : - <%= $url %> # home uses File::HomeDir to find the calling users' # home directory pid_file : <%= home %>/<%= $app %>/hypnotoad.pid env : MOJO_HOME : <%= home %>/<%= $app %> From a Clustericious::App: package MyApp; use Mojo::Base qw( Clustericious::App ); package MyApp::Routes; use Clustericious::RouteBuilder; get '/' => sub { my $c = shift; my $config = $c; # $config isa Clustericious::Config # returns the value if it is defined, foo otherwise my $value = $config->arbitrary_key(default => 'foo'); }; From a script: use Clustericious::Config; my $c = Clustericious::Config->new("MyApp"); my $c = Clustericious::Config->new( \$config_string ); my $c = Clustericious::Config->new( \%config_data_structure ); print $c->url; print $c->{url}; print $c->hypnotoad->listen; print $c->hypnotoad->{listen}; my %hash = $c->hypnotoad; my @ary = $c->hypnotoad; # Supply a default value for a missing configuration parameter : $c->url(default => "http://localhost:9999"); print $c->this_param_is_missing(default => "something_else"); # Dump out the entire config as yaml print $c->dump_as_yaml; DESCRIPTION Clustericious::Config reads configuration files which are Mojo::Template's of JSON or YAML files. There should generally be an entry for 'url', which may be used by either a client or a server depending on how this node in the cluster is being used. After rendering the template and parsing the JSON, the resulting object may be called using method calls or treated as hashes. Config files are looked for in the following places (in order, where "MyApp" is the name of the app) : $CLUSTERICIOUS_CONF_DIR/MyApp.conf $HOME/etc/MyApp.conf /util/etc/MyApp.conf /etc/MyApp.conf The helper "extends_config" may be used to read default settings from another config file. The first argument to extends_config is the basename of the config file. Additional named arguments may be passed to that config file and used as variables within that file. After reading another file, the hashes are merged (i.e. with Hash::Merge); so values anywhere inside the data structure may be overridden. YAML config files must begin with "---", otherwise they are interpreted as JSON. This module provides a number of helpers which can be used to get system details (such as the home directory of the calling user or to prompt for passwords). See Clustericious::Config::Helpers for details. CONSTRUCTOR new Create a new Clustericious::Config object. See the SYNOPSIS for possible invocations. METHODS $config->dump_as_yaml Returns a string with the configuration encoded as YAML. Clustericious::Config->set_singleton Cache a config object to be returned by the constructor. Usage: Clustericicious::Config->set_singleton(App => $object); CAVEATS Some filesystems do not support filenames with a colon (:) character in them, so for apps with a double colon in them (for example Clustericious::HelloWorld), a single dash character will be substituted for the name (for example Clustericious-HelloWorld.conf). NOTES This is a beta release. The API may change without notice.
