app_settings¶ ↑

Simple wrapper for YAML config files for Rails apps and gems

sudo gem install ssoroka-app_settings
rake app_settings:install_config

in an initializer, put:

$settings = AppSettings.new(File.join(Rails.root, 'config', 'app_settings.yml'))

Then anywhere in your app you can access the settings with:

$settings['users/tim/user_name']
$settings['users/tim/password']

Or whatever applies for your config file.

See example_config/example_for_rails.yml for an example yml file, here’s some code examples to match:

$settings['google_maps_api_keys/localhost']

$settings['domains/legacy']

$settings['from_address']

$settings.from_address

# if user_config_file_path doesn't exist, default_config_file_path will be used.
@settings = AppSettings.new(user_config_file_path, default_config_file_path)
@settings['hoptoad/auth_token']

The config files support ERB: <%= %>
