Overview

A strongly-typed config library to parse configs from PFlags, Env Vars and Config files. Config package enables consumers to access (readonly for now) strongly typed configs without worrying about mismatching keys or casting to the wrong type. It supports basic types (e.g. int, string) as well as more complex structures through json encoding/decoding.

Config package introduces the concept of Sections. Each section should be given a unique section key. The binary will not load if there is a conflict. Each section should be represented as a Go struct and registered at startup before config is loaded/parsed.

Sections can be nested too. A new config section can be registered as a sub-section of an existing one. This allows dynamic grouping of sections while continuing to enforce strong-typed parsing of configs.

Config data can be parsed from supported config file(s) (yaml, prop, toml), env vars, PFlags or a combination of these Precedence is (flags, env vars, config file, defaults). When data is read from config files, a file watcher is started to monitor for changes in those files. If the registrant of a section subscribes to changes then a handler is called when the relevant section has been updated. Sections within a single config file will be invoked after all sections from that particular config file are parsed. It follows that if there are inter-dependent sections (e.g. changing one MUST be followed by a change in another), then make sure those sections are placed in the same config file.

A convenience tool is also provided in cli package (pflags) that generates an implementation for PFlagProvider interface based on json names of the fields.

Example
// This example demonstrates basic usage of config sections.

//go:generate pflags OtherComponentConfig

type OtherComponentConfig struct {
	DurationValue Duration `json:"duration-value"`
	URLValue      URL      `json:"url-value"`
	StringValue   string   `json:"string-value"`
}

// Each component should register their section in package init() or as a package var
section := MustRegisterSection("other-component", &OtherComponentConfig{})

// Override configpath to look for a custom location.
configPath := filepath.Join("testdata", "config.yaml")

// Initialize an accessor.
var accessor Accessor
// e.g.
// accessor = viper.NewAccessor(viper.Options{
//		StrictMode:   true,
//		SearchPaths: []string{configPath, configPath2},
// })

// Optionally bind to Pflags.
// accessor.InitializePflags(flags)

// Parse config from file or pass empty to rely on env variables and PFlags
err := accessor.UpdateConfig(context.Background())
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Failed to validate config from [%v], error: %v", configPath, err)
	return
}

// Get parsed config value.
parsedConfig := section.GetConfig().(*OtherComponentConfig)
fmt.Printf("Config: %v", parsedConfig)
Output:

Example (Nested)
// This example demonstrates registering nested config sections dynamically.

//go:generate pflags OtherComponentConfig

type OtherComponentConfig struct {
	DurationValue Duration `json:"duration-value"`
	URLValue      URL      `json:"url-value"`
	StringValue   string   `json:"string-value"`
}

// Each component should register their section in package init() or as a package var
Section := MustRegisterSection("my-component", &MyComponentConfig{})

// Other packages can register their sections at the root level (like the above line) or as nested sections of other
// sections (like the below line)
NestedSection := Section.MustRegisterSection("nested", &OtherComponentConfig{})

// Override configpath to look for a custom location.
configPath := filepath.Join("testdata", "nested_config.yaml")

// Initialize an accessor.
var accessor Accessor
// e.g.
// accessor = viper.NewAccessor(viper.Options{
//		StrictMode:   true,
//		SearchPaths: []string{configPath, configPath2},
// })

// Optionally bind to Pflags.
// accessor.InitializePflags(flags)

// Parse config from file or pass empty to rely on env variables and PFlags
err := accessor.UpdateConfig(context.Background())
if err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("Failed to validate config from [%v], error: %v", configPath, err)
	return
}

// Get parsed config value.
parsedConfig := NestedSection.GetConfig().(*OtherComponentConfig)
fmt.Printf("Config: %v", parsedConfig)
