Unable to follow directions and get basic working example

I'm very interested in your package. I have similar needs and started to build my own solution. I would prefer to use your package, however, I'm having trouble following how to actually use it.

The readme mentions:

Define your configuration in config.ex of your application.

I'm not sure if that's a typo (config.exs) or if you are suggesting to create config.ex file that gets loaded by the application in a callback or something. If so, can you provide a sample?

I added the config example (even though I'm not using AMQP) to my config.exs file and tried playing with getting values throuh iex -S mix terminal.

This is what I get:

Confex.get(:core, AssetProcessor.AMQP.Producer)
[queue: [name: {:system, "OUT_QUEUE_NAME", "MyQueueOut"},
  error_name: {:system, "OUT_ERROR_QUEUE_NAME", "MyQueueOut.Errors"},
  routing_key: {:system, "OUT_ROUTING_KEY", ""},
  durable: {:system, "OUT_DURABLE", false},
  port: {:system, :integer, "OUT_PORT", 1234}]]

I expected values instead if the {:system, _, _} tuple. I get the same thing using Application.get_env.

Can you please point me to a guide, example, blog post, or something that shows how to get started with the library? I feel like I'm just missing some small but critical piece of information.

The Readme file here has a typo for the given example. If you use Confex.get_map/2, it should parse the map below your application and key.

Got it. That helps. I've figured out how to work with the library now Thanks!

@ngeraedts I guess I've fixed the typo, if there are any other typos - please, tell :).
