app-yml-rails

This gem provides a Rails application with project-wide settings via an app.yml file. Settings can be accessed anywhere: controllers, helpers, views, models, tests, in the console, etc.

• Provides project-wide settings via config/app.yml.
• Supports App.settings.nested_settings syntax.
• Supports all/production/staging/development/test environments (specific environment settings over settings from the 'all' environment).
• Auto-refreshes app.yml changes without requiring an application restart.

Add the following line to your project's Gemfile:

gem 'app-yml-rails'

Install the gem using Bundler:

$ bundle

Install the config and initializer files:

$ rails generate app_yml:install

1. Edit your project settings in config/app.yml.
2. Access settings anywhere in your application via App.settings.nested_setting syntax.
