## Introduction
This library defines a universal procedure to load configurations and parse properties, also supports reload configuration files.

## Parse Functions

`MonadSalak` monad provide a unified function `require` to parse properties. Here are some examples.

```Haskell
a :: Bool              <- require "bool.key"
b :: Maybe Int         <- require "int.optional.key"
c :: Either String Int <- require "int.error.key"
d :: IO Int            <- require "int.reloadable.key" -- This property can be changed by reloading configurations.
```

## Load Strategy
We can load configurations from command lines, environment, configuration files such as yaml or toml etc., and we may want to have our own strategies to load configurations from multiply sources and overwrite properties by orders of these sources.

`PropConfig` defines a common loading strategy:
> 1. loadCommandLine
> 2. loadEnvironment
> 3. loadConfFiles
> 4. load file from folder `application.dir` if defined
> 5. load file from current folder if enabled
> 6. load file from home folder if enabled
> 7. file extension matching, support yaml or toml or any other loader.

Load earlier has higher priorities. Priorities cannot be changed.

For command lines and environment, 
```
CommandLine:  --package.a.enabled=true
Environment: PACKAGE_A_ENABLED: false
```

## Usage

Environment:
```
export TEST_CONFIG_NAME=daniel
```
Current Directory:  salak.yaml
```YAML
test.config:
  name: noop
  dir: ls
```
Current Directory:  salak.toml
```TOML
[test.config]
ext=2
```

```Haskell
data Config = Config
  { name :: Text
  , dir  :: Maybe Text
  , ext  :: Int
  } deriving (Eq, Show)

instance FromProp m Config where
  fromProp = Config
    <$> "user" ? pattern "[a-z]{5,16}"
    <*> "pwd"
    <*> "ext" .?= 1

main = runSalakWith "salak" (YAML :|: TOML) $ do
  c :: Config <- require "test.config"
  lift $ print c
```

GHCi play
```Haskell
λ> :set -XFlexibleInstances -XMultiParamTypeClasses -XOverloadedStrings
λ> import Salak
λ> import Data.Default
λ> import Data.Text(Text)
λ> data Config = Config { name :: Text, dir  :: Maybe Text, ext  :: Int} deriving (Eq, Show)
λ> instance FromProp m Config where fromProp = Config <$> "user" <*> "dir" <*> "ext" .?= 1
λ> runSalak def (require "") :: IO Config
Config {name = "daniel", dir = Nothing, ext = 1}
```

TODO:
- Add git pull support.
- Add automatic reloading.
