GASTON

Gaston is a dead simple Ruby config store. Write your config in yaml files, and retrieve it through one Gaston.

Ruby 1.9.2 is required.

Install it with rubygems:

gem install gaston

With bundler, add it to your Gemfile:

gem "gaston"

Within a rails project, run the following command:

rails g gaston:config

Otherwise, create an initializer. You can define an environment with the env method, and specify config files with the files method. Default env is :development.

Gaston.configure do |gaston|
  gaston.env = Rails.env
  gaston.files = Dir[Rails.root.join("config/gaston/**/*.{yml,json}")]
end

Always specify environment in yaml :

Environment values are merged on :gaston values. :gaston is optional.

You can use erb inside values.

:gaston:
  api:
    state: "awesome"
:development:
  api:
    key: "api_key"
:test:
  api:
    key: <%= ENV["API_KEY"] %>

Since verion 0.2.0, gaston also accept json files.

Querying a config key :

Gaston.api.state # => 'awesome'
Gaston.api.key # => 'api_key'

## Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
