dots

Introduction

The dots package creates a configuration object that allows you to parse yaml files and access them using dot syntax (i.e "a.b.c.d") in Go. It is dependent on the Yaml parsing ability of the go-yaml library.

Example

Given the following example.yml:

---
a:
  b:
    c: "Hello, World"
    d: 600

In the main.go file we access fields like so:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"

    "github.com/JonathonGore/dots/yaml"
)

func main() {
    y, err := yaml.New("example.yml")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    s, _ := y.GetString("a.b.c")
    i, _ := y.GetInt("a.b.d")

    fmt.Printf("%v\n", s)
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", i)
}

This will output:

Hello, World
600
