Description

Package rconfig implements a CLI configuration reader with struct-embedded defaults, environment variables and posix compatible flag parsing using the pflag library.

Installation

Install by running:

go get -u github.com/Luzifer/rconfig

Run tests by running:

go test -v -race -cover github.com/Luzifer/rconfig

Usage

As a first step define a struct holding your configuration:

type config struct {
  Username string `default:"unknown" flag:"user" description:"Your name"`
  Details  struct {
    Age int `default:"25" flag:"age" env:"age" description:"Your age"`
  }
}

Next create an instance of that struct and let rconfig fill that config:

var cfg config
func init() {
  cfg = config{}
  rconfig.Parse(&cfg)
}

You're ready to access your configuration:

func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello %s, happy birthday for your %dth birthday.",
		cfg.Username,
		cfg.Details.Age)
}
