📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The config package adds ordered configKeys support. Options combine configKey and configKeys, resolve the first available value, expose all lookup keys, and document the behavior. Tests cover precedence and fallback across YAML and JSON sources.

Changes

Multiple configuration sources

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lookup contract and resolution packages/config/lib/src/config/options.dart, packages/config/lib/src/config/configuration.dart	Options expose ordered configKeys, combine them with configKey, describe all keys, and resolve the first non-null value.
Option construction and parser wiring packages/config/lib/src/config/config_parser.dart, packages/config/lib/src/config/option_types.dart, packages/config/lib/src/config/file_system_options.dart	Parser and option constructors forward configKeys across flag, scalar, multi-value, file-system, and typed options.
Validation and package documentation packages/config/test/config/*, packages/config/README.md, packages/config/CHANGELOG.md, packages/config/pubspec.yaml	Tests cover precedence and fallback across configuration sources. Documentation and package metadata describe the feature and version 0.9.1.

Use action and behavior in these test names.

Lines 275, 282, and 359 use then without an action. They also refer to lookupConfigKeys, not observable behavior. Name each test with when … then …, such as “when reading all configuration keys, then declaration order is preserved.”

Also applies to: 359-364
