Hashconfig

Extends the Ruby Hash class with a method (merge_with_serialized) that merges a hash instance with an serialized (YAML) instance of a hash. So it is a lightweight mechanism for configuration.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hashconfig'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hashconfig

require 'hashconfig'

STANDARD_CONFIG = {
    :default_directory  => File.join(File.expand_path("~"), "Downloads"),
    :store_episode_info => false,
    :store_path         => File.join(CONFIG_DIR, "information_storage.yml"),
    :byte_count_for_md5 => 2048,
}

config = STANDARD_CONFIG.merge_with_serialized('path/to/yaml/file')

# config now holds the data from STANDARD_CONFIG updated with values from
# the yaml file
