Version 1.0.0
Copyright 2022-2023 Mike Bierlee
Licensed under the terms of the MIT license - See LICENSE.txt

Toolkit for loading and using application configuration from various formats for the D programming language.

Features:

Load from various file formats such as JSON, INI and Java properties (see Formats);
Environment variable substitution;
Internal configuration substitution (Value in config replaced by other path in config);
Parse configuration from string, JSONValue or from disk.

Requires at least a D 2.097.2 compatible compiler
Uses the Phobos standard library

Getting started

DUB Dependency

See the DUB project page for instructions on how to include Mirage Config into your project.

Quickstart

import std.stdio : writeln;
import mirage : loadConfig, parseJavaProperties;

void main() {
    // Load configuration from file (see examples/quickstart/config.json)
    auto config = loadConfig("config.json");
    writeln(config.get("application.name"));
    writeln(config.get!long("application.version"));

    // Or parse directly from string
    auto ini = parseIniConfig("
        databaseDriver = Postgres

        [database]
        host = localhost
        port = 5432
    ");

    auto databaseConfig = ini.getConfig("database");

    writeln(ini.get("databaseDriver"));
    writeln(databaseConfig.get("host"));
    writeln(databaseConfig.get("port"));
}

More formats are available (see Formats.)
For more details and examples, see the examples directory.

Formats

The following file formats are currently supported:

Format	Extension	Import<sup>*</sup>	Loader	Parser	Factory
any below	any below	`mirage`	`loadConfig`<sup>**</sup>	(N/A)
INI	.ini	`mirage.ini`	`loadIniConfig`	`parseIniConfig`	`IniConfigFactory`
Java	.properties	`mirage.java`	`loadJavaProperties`	`parseJavaProperties`	`JavaPropertiesFactory`
JSON	.json	`mirage.json`	`loadJsonConfig`	`parseJsonConfig`<sup>***</sup>	`JsonConfigFactory`

* Any loader or parser can be imported from the mirage package since they are all publicly imported.
** Loads files based on their extension. If the file does not use one of the extensions in the table, you must use a specific loader.
*** Besides parsing strings like the other formats, it also accepts a JSONValue.

Documentation

You can generate documentation from the source code using DUB:

dub build --build=ddox

The documentation can then be found in docs/
