NAME

Narada::Config - manage project configuration

VERSION

This document describes Narada::Config version 1.3.8

SYNOPSIS

    use Narada::Config;

    my $version = get_config_line("version");
    my $exclude = get_config("backup/exclude");
    set_config("log/output", "/dev/stderr");

    my $db = get_db_config();
    my $dbh = DBI->connect($db->{dsn}, $db->{login}, $db->{pass});

DESCRIPTION

Project's configuration keept in files under directory 'config/' in project root directory. Usually single file contain value for single variable (variable name is file name itself).

While it's possible to manage project configuration with reading/writing to these files, this module provide easier way to do this.

INTERFACE

get_config( VARIABLE_NAME )

VARIABLE_NAME must contain only [/A-Za-z0-9._-]. It must not contain "./" or "../".

Return: contents of file 'config/VARIABLE_NAME' as scalar.

get_config_line( VARIABLE_NAME )

Suitable for reading files which contain single string (with/without \n at end).

VARIABLE_NAME must contain only [/A-Za-z0-9._-]. It must not contain "./" or "../".

Return: contents of file 'config/VARIABLE_NAME' as scalar without last \n (if any). Raise exception if file contain more than one line.

get_db_config()

Helper for reading database configuration from config/db/*.

Return: nothing if database not configured, or hashref with keys:

    {db}        contents of config/db/db
    {login}     contents of config/db/login
    {pass}      contents of config/db/pass
    {host}      contents of config/db/host
    {port}      contents of config/db/port
    {dsn_nodb}  'dbi:mysql:;host=$host;port=$port'
    {dsn}       'dbi:mysql:;host=$host;port=$port;database=$db'
set_config( VARIABLE_NAME, VARIABLE_VALUE )

See limitation for VARIABLE_VALUE above.

Atomically write VARIABLE_VALUE (scalar) to file 'config/VARIABLE_NAME'. If 'config/VARIABLE_NAME' doesn't exist it will be created (including parent directories if needed).

Return: nothing.

DIAGNOSTICS

Thrown by set_config() and get_config() on wrong VARIABLE_NAME.

Thrown by get_config() if file 'config/VARIABLE_NAME' doesn't exist.
