README
ExConf
Simple Elixir Configuration Management
Deprecated
ExConf has been replaced by Mix Configuration. See the Phoenix README for new configuration instructions.
Features
- Configuration definitions are evaluated at runtime, but merged/defaulted at compile time, allowing runtime dependent lookups. (i.e.
System.get_env) - Configuration modules can extend other configurations for overrides and defaults
- Evironment based lookup for settings based on provided
env_var
Simple Example
defmodule MyApp.Config do
use ExConf.Config
config :router, ssl: true,
domain: "example.dev",
port: System.get_env("PORT")
config :session, secret: "secret"
end
iex> MyApp.Config.router[:domain]
"example.dev"
defmodule MyApp.OtherConfig do
use MyApp.Config
config :session, secret: "123password"
end
iex> MyApp.OtherConfig.session[:secret]
"123password"
iex> MyApp.OtherConfig.router[:ssl]
true
Environment Based Configuration
First, establish a base configuration module that uses ExConf.Config and
provide an env_var option for System.get_env lookup at runtime of the current
application environment.
defmodule MyApp.Config do
use ExConf.Config, env_var: "MIX_ENV"
config :router, ssl: true
config :twitter, api_token: System.get_env("API_TOKEN")
end
Next, define "submodules" for each environment you need overrides or additional settings for.
The base config module will look for a "submodule" whos name is the value of
:env_var fetched from System.get_env in capitalized form.
This allows environment specific lookup at runtime via the env/0 function on the base module.
If the environment specific config module does not exist, it falls back to the base module.
Here's what a Dev enviroment config module would look like for System.get_env("MIX_ENV") == "dev":
defmodule MyApp.Config.Dev do
use MyApp.Config
config :router, ssl: false
config :twitter, api_token: "ABC"
end
iex> System.get_env("MIX_ENV")
"dev"
iex> MyApp.Config.env
MyApp.Config.Dev
iex> MyApp.Config.env.router[:ssl]
false
