resource-config

DEPRECATED please use Aero instead

A Clojure library for reading a single EDN configuration file available in your resources. It wraps aero and provides some convenience functions.

Build Status

Usage

Add to your project's dependencies:

Clojars Project

Note that previous versions used a [turbovote/resource-config] dependency! This must be changed when updating to 1.0.0.

  1. Create a config.edn file in your classpath.
  2. Use resource-config!
; config.edn
{:server {:hostname "localhost"
          :port 8080}
 :startup-message "Hello, world!"
 :auth-token #env "AUTH_TOKEN"}
; core.clj
(ns my-app.core
  (:require [resource-config.core :refer [config]]))

;; this will throw an exception if the value is not in the config
(defn running-locally? []
  (= "localhost" (config [:server :hostname])))

;; you can set a default value like this (never throws exception)
(defn get-database-url []
  (config [:database :url] "postgres://default-db"))

Using it with the mount library

(ns my-app.core
  (:require [mount.core :refer [defstate] :as mount]
            [resource-config.core :as rc]))
  
(defstate config
  :start rc/config
  :stop (rc/reload-config!))
  
(mount/start)

(config [:database :url] "postgres://default-db")

Data readers

The following data readers are provided:

  • #resource-config/edn: The value is read from an edn string.

tests

There is a lein plugin that sets environment vars. This allows them to be checked into the repo. It needs to be invoked, so run the tests like this:

lein with-env-vars test
