  • Predictable - Well tested foundation for library and app developers.

Installation

Add Aedi property reader as a dependency to a dub project:

Json configuration:

"aedi-property-reader": "~master"

SDL configuration:

dependency "aedi-property-reader" version="~master"

Quickstart

Aedi property reader provides an unified interface for reading config properties out of a multitude of sources. It is able to read configuration out of following sources:

  • Command line
  • Environment
  • Xml document
  • Json document

To use aedi property reader to load configuration following steps are required:

  1. Create a config container
  2. Pass config file, or any required data to it
  3. Define config properties to be read from source
  4. Use properties out of config container

The example below shows the simplest use case presented in steps above:

module app;
import std.stdio;

import aermicioi.aedi;
import aermicioi.aedi_property_reader;

void properties(T : ConvertorContainer!(FromType, ToType), FromType, ToType)(T container) {
		with (container.configure) { // Create a configuration context for config container
			property!string("protocol"); // Define `protocol` property of type `string`
			property!string("host");
			property!string("resource");
			property!ushort("port");
			property!(string[string])("arguments"); // Define `arguments` property of type `string[string]`
			property!(size_t[])("nope-an-array");
		}
}

auto load() {
	auto cont = json("config.json");

	cont.properties();
	return cont;
}

void main()
{
	auto cont = load(); // Initialize config container

	writeln("Dumping network connection information:");
	writeln("Protocol: ", cont.locate!string("protocol")); // Write property found in configuration
	writeln("Host: ", cont.locate!string("host")); 
	writeln("Port: ", cont.locate!ushort("port"));
	writeln("Arguments: ", cont.locate!(string[string])("arguments")); // Write property found in configuration
	writeln("nope-an-array: ", cont.locate!(size_t[])("nope-an-array")); 
}

The output of example, will yield following answers:

Dumping network connection information:
Protocol: http
Host: host.io
Port: 8080
Arguments: ["pass":"json.weak-pass", "user":"json.bold-logic"]
nope-an-array: [6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
