Greenenvy

Greenenvy is yet another configuration DSL for Ruby applications. It provides a system for clearly declaring environment-specific settings, such as third-party API keys and endpoints.

This project was heavily inspired by https://github.com/jcmuller/figleaf and others.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'greenenvy'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install greenenvy

For example, for use in a Rails application, you could add Greenenvy to your config/application.rb:

require_relative 'boot'

require "rails"
# ...

Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application

    # Load config/settings/*.rb with Greenenvy gem
    ::Settings = Greenenvy.load_env(
      Rails.env,
      Rails.root.join("config", "settings"),
    )

    config.load_defaults 5.2
  end
end

Given the following file in config/settings/some_settings.rb:

# Default applies to all environments
default do
  set :enabled, false
  set :api_key, ENV["SOME_API_KEY"]
end

# Env-specific takes precedence over the defaults
env :production do
  set :enabled, true
end

You could call the following in your Rails code:

# Note `some_settings` is the name of the `.rb` file above.
api_key = Settings.some_settings.api_key

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
