Configuration (re)loader in Haskell.

  • Hackage Toml support for salak.

Introduction

This library defines a universal procedure to load configurations and parse properties, also supports reload configuration files.

Parse Functions

MonadSalak monad provide a unified function require to parse properties. Here are some examples.

a :: Bool              <- require "bool.key"
b :: Maybe Int         <- require "int.optional.key"
c :: Either String Int <- require "int.error.key"
d :: IO Int            <- require "int.reloadable.key" -- This property can be changed by reloading configurations.

Load Strategy

We can load configurations from command lines, environment, configuration files such as yaml or toml etc., and we may want to have our own strategies to load configurations from multiply sources and overwrite properties by orders of these sources.

PropConfig defines a common loading strategy:

  1. loadCommandLine
  2. loadEnvironment
  3. loadConfFiles
  4. load file from folder application.dir if defined
  5. load file from current folder if enabled
  6. load file from home folder if enabled
  7. file extension matching, support yaml or toml or any other loader.

Load earlier has higher priorities. Priorities cannot be changed.

For command lines and environment,

CommandLine:  --package.a.enabled=true
Environment: PACKAGE_A_ENABLED: false

As showed above, salak’s performance is good enough for normal applications. Normally loading and parsing properties can be completed in less then 5ms. Also salak’s require function support parsing IO a values, which can be used for dynamic values affected by reloading. Reading the wrapped IO value is much faster then require.

Usage

Environment:

export TEST_CONFIG_NAME=daniel

Current Directory: salak.yaml

test.config:
  name: noop
  dir: ls

Current Directory: salak.toml

[test.config]
ext=2
data Config = Config
  { name :: Text
  , dir  :: Maybe Text
  , ext  :: Int
  } deriving (Eq, Show)

instance FromProp m Config where
  fromProp = Config
    <$> "user" ? pattern "[a-z]{5,16}"
    <*> "pwd"
    <*> "ext" .?= 1

main = runSalakWith "salak" (YAML :|: TOML) $ do
  c :: Config <- require "test.config"
  lift $ print c
