Description : Go package for program configuration
gonfig is a configuration library designed using the following
principles:
- The configuration variables are fully specified and loaded into a
struct variable.
- You only need one statement to load the configuration fully.
- Configuration variables can be retrieved from various sources, in
this order of increasing priority:
- default values from the struct definition
- the value already in the object when passed into Load()
- config file in either YAML, TOML, JSON or a custom decoder
- environment variables
- command line flags
Furthermore, it has the following features:
- supported types for interpreting:
- native Go types: all int, uint, string, bool
- types that implement TextUnmarshaler from the "encoding" package
- byte slices ([]byte) are interpreted as base64
- slices of the above mentioned types
- map[string]interface{}
- the location of the config file can be passed through command line
flags or environment variables
- printing help message (and hiding individual flags)
This package is needed for #963575
I would like to package and maintain this.
