Different system configurations

[bilus]

Is there a way to have different system configurations (based on command line arguments or config etc.)? The way I'm using component in a large app is that I have a "server" system and a "cli" system. The "cli" system doesn't have all bells and whistles of the "server" system (e.g. it doesn't need the web server) it uses a different logging subsystem etc. Is there a way to do that with your library?

Note that they don't exist at the same time.

@bilus, you can definitely control the way states are created via configuration that can be passed in at runtime: https://github.com/tolitius/mount/blob/master/doc/runtime-arguments.md#passing-runtime-arguments

Depending on your use case, if you do / do not want to start certain states of an application, you can do that as well: https://github.com/tolitius/mount#start-and-stop-parts-of-application.

Another way I can think of to satisfy running an application in different modes, is to have a separate namespace for "cli" that would only :require states that this mode needs. mount won't start/stop states it does not know about, and if certain states are omitted from the namespace, they won't be visible to mount.

@bilus also just added a Start an Application Without Certain States feature where you can create a sub systemfor cli

(* it's in mount-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT)

Thanks a lot for a prompt reply. I'll give it a try.

@bilus you can try 0.1.4 it has more ways to start/stop states including swapping alternate implementations your cli sub app may use for a different logging system.

Thanks. Right now I'm working on a Ruby project but I'll get back to this. ;)

@bilus, sure. feel free to reopen the issue if needed when you get to play with it.
