Psych::Inherit::File

A psych handler and parser that allows inherit other files within YAML files.

It is an extraction from elasticsearch-rake-tasks.

Supports JRubys Psych implementation.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'psych-inherit-file'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install psych-inherit-file

Just use the Parser class instead of your YAML parser:

parser = Psych::Inherit::File::Parser.new
parser.parse_file('myfile.yaml')

This parser allows you to include the following tag in your YAML:

# bar.yml
---
name: &string_analyzed
  type: string

# foo.yml
properties:
  inherit: !file "bar.yml"
  surname: *string_analyzed

This allows you to share definitions between files. The "inherit" node will be replaced by inherited file.
