simple configfile
SYNOPSIS
## A YAML configfile named /etc/my_app.yaml:
foo: bar
baz: 123
## In your class
package My::App;
use Moose;
with 'MooseX::SimpleConfig';
has 'foo' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1);
has 'baz' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int', required => 1);
# ... rest of the class here
## in your script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use My::App;
my $app = My::App->new_with_config(configfile => '/etc/my_app.yaml');
# ... rest of the script here
####################
###### combined with MooseX::Getopt:
## In your class
package My::App;
use Moose;
with 'MooseX::SimpleConfig';
with 'MooseX::Getopt';
has 'foo' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1);
has 'baz' => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int', required => 1);
# ... rest of the class here
## in your script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use My::App;
my $app = My::App->new_with_options();
# ... rest of the script here
## on the command line
% perl my_app_script.pl -configfile /etc/my_app.yaml -otherthing 123
DESCRIPTION
This role loads simple configfiles to set object attributes. It is
based on the abstract role MooseX::ConfigFromFile, and uses Config::Any
to load your configfile. Config::Any will in turn support any of a
variety of different config formats, detected by the file extension.
See Config::Any for more details about supported formats.
Like all MooseX::ConfigFromFile -derived configfile loaders, this
module is automatically supported by the MooseX::Getopt role as well,
which allows specifying "-configfile" on the commandline.
ATTRIBUTES
configfile
Provided by the base role MooseX::ConfigFromFile. You can provide a
default configfile pathname like so:
has '+configfile' => ( default => '/etc/myapp.yaml' );
You can pass an array of filenames if you want, but as usual the array
has to be wrapped in a sub ref.
has '+configfile' => ( default => sub { [ '/etc/myapp.yaml', '/etc/myapp_local.yml' ] } );
Config files are trivially merged at the top level, with the right-hand
files taking precedence.
CLASS METHODS
new_with_config
Provided by the base role MooseX::ConfigFromFile. Acts just like
regular "new()", but also accepts an argument "configfile" to specify
the configfile from which to load other attributes. Explicit arguments
to "new_with_config" will override anything loaded from the configfile.
get_config_from_file
Called internally by either "new_with_config" or MooseX::Getopt's
"new_with_options". Invokes Config::Any to parse "configfile".
