Description

Functionality for using YAML as configuration files

In particular, merging environment variables with yaml values

loadYamlSettings is a high-level API for loading YAML and merging environment variables. A yaml value of _env:ENV_VAR:default will lookup the environment variable ENV_VAR.

On a historical note, this code was taken directly from the yesod web framework's configuration module.

Synopsis

High-level

loadYamlSettings Source #

Arguments

:: FromJSON settings 
=> [FilePath]

run time config files to use, earlier files have precedence

-> [Value]

any other values to use, usually from compile time config. overridden by files

-> EnvUsage 
-> IO settings 

Load the settings from the following three sources:

  • Run time config files
  • Run time environment variables
  • The default compile time config file

For example, to load up settings from config/foo.yaml and allow overriding from the actual environment, you can use:

loadYamlSettings ["config/foo.yaml"] [] useEnv

Since: yaml-0.8.16

loadYamlSettingsArgs Source #

Arguments

:: FromJSON settings 
=> [Value]

any other values to use, usually from compile time config. overridden by files

-> EnvUsage

use environment variables

-> IO settings 

Same as loadYamlSettings, but get the list of runtime config files from the command line arguments.

Since: yaml-0.8.17

EnvUsage

data EnvUsage Source #

Defines how we want to use the environment variables when loading a config file. Use the smart constructors provided by this module.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

ignoreEnv :: EnvUsage Source #

Do not use any environment variables, instead relying on defaults values in the config file.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

useEnv :: EnvUsage Source #

Use environment variables when available, otherwise use defaults.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

requireEnv :: EnvUsage Source #

Do not use default values from the config file, but instead take all overrides from the environment. If a value is missing, loading the file will throw an exception.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

useCustomEnv :: HashMap Text Text -> EnvUsage Source #

Same as useEnv, but instead of the actual environment, use the provided HashMap as the environment.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

requireCustomEnv :: HashMap Text Text -> EnvUsage Source #

Same as requireEnv, but instead of the actual environment, use the provided HashMap as the environment.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

Lower level

applyCurrentEnv Source #

Arguments

:: Bool

require an environment variable to be present?

-> Value 
-> IO Value 

A convenience wrapper around applyEnvValue and getCurrentEnv

Since: yaml-0.8.16

getCurrentEnv :: IO (HashMap Text Text) Source #

Get the actual environment as a HashMap from Text to Text.

Since: yaml-0.8.16

applyEnvValue Source #

Arguments

:: Bool

require an environment variable to be present?

-> HashMap Text Text 
-> Value 
-> Value 

Override environment variable placeholders in the given Value with values from the environment.

If the first argument is True, then all placeholders _must_ be provided by the actual environment. Otherwise, default values from the Value will be used.
