Automatic YAML configuration loader for Angel.
# About
Any web app needs different configuration for development and production. This plugin will search
for a `config/default.yaml` file. If it is found, configuration from it is loaded into `app.configuration`.
Then, it will look for a `config/$ANGEL_ENV` file. (i.e. config/development.yaml). If this found, all of its
configuration be loaded, and will override anything loaded from the `default.yaml` file. This allows for your
app to work under different conditions without you re-coding anything. :)
# Installation
In `pubspec.yaml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
angel_configuration: ^2.0.0
```
# Usage
**Example Configuration**
```yaml
# Define normal YAML objects
some_key: foo
this_is_a_map:
a_string: "string"
another_string: "string"
```
You can also load configuration from the environment:
```yaml
# Loaded from the environment
system_path: $PATH
```
If a `.env` file is present in your configuration directory, then it will be loaded before
applying YAML configuration.
**Server-side**
Call `configuration()`. The loaded configuration will be available in your application's
`configuration` map.
`configuration` also accepts a `sourceDirectory` or `overrideEnvironmentName` parameter.
The former will allow you to search in a directory other than `config`, and the latter lets you
override `$ANGEL_ENV` by specifying a specific configuration name to look for (i.e. `production`).
This package uses
[`package:merge_map`](https://github.com/thosakwe/merge_map)
internally, so existing configurations can be deeply merged.
Example:
```yaml
# default.yaml
foo:
bar: baz
quux: hello
# production.yaml
foo:
quux: goodbye
yellow: submarine
# Propagates to:
foo:
bar: baz
quux: goodbye
yellow: submarine
```
