ruby-conf¶ ↑

Simple way to do ruby config DSL

gem install ruby-conf

gem "ruby-conf"

RubyConf.define :godzilla do
  mothra 'sucks'
  godzilla 'rocks'
end

> RubyConf.godzilla.mothra
=> "sucks" 
> RubyConf.godzilla.godzilla
=> "rocks" 

RubyConf.define "monkey" , :as => 'MyBonobo' do
 has_legs true
 number_arms 2
 number_legs 2
 name 'Nancy' , 'Drew'
 age 34

 # make sure to pass a lambda and not a do block
 # do blocks chain configurations (see below)
 number_of_bananas_eaten lambda { 
   BanannaChomper.lookup("nancy.bananas").count
 }
end
MyBonobo.name                     # ['Nancy' , 'Drew']
MyBonobo.number_of_bananas_eaten  # execute proc
MyBonobo.number_legs              # 2
RubyConf[:monkey][:age]           # 34
...

config = RubyConf.define do
  favorite_color 'blue'
end
config.favorite_color             # "blue"

RubyConf.define "rails", :as => :RailsConfig do
  production do
    database "rails_prod"
    host "localhost"
  end
  staging do
    database "rails_staging"
    host "localhost"
  end
end
RailsConfig.production.database  # "rails_prod"
RailsConfig.staging.database     # "rails_staging"

RubyConf.define "rails", :as => :RailsConfig do
  defaults do
    host "localhost"
    username "godzilla"
    password "mothra"
  end

  development :inherits => defaults do
    database "development"
  end

  test :inherits => defaults do
    database "test"
    username "biollante"
    password "destroygodzilla"
  end

  production :inherits => defaults do
    database "production"
    host "killmothra.net"
    password "ilovemothra"
  end
end
RailsConfig.development.database      # "development"
RailsConfig.development.username      # "godzilla
RailsConfig.development.password      # "mothra"
RailsConfig.production.username       # "godzilla"

Ruby-conf can be used with Rails.  Restart the server after setting up config values.

• Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet.

• Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it.

• Fork the project.

• Start a feature/bugfix branch.

• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.

• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
