NAME

6       Config::ZOMG - Yet Another Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader-style layer
7       over Config::Any
8

VERSION

10       version 1.000000
11

DESCRIPTION

13       "Config::ZOMG" is a fork of Config::JFDI.  It removes a couple of
14       unusual features and passes the same tests three times faster than
15       Config::JFDI.
16
17       "Config::ZOMG" is an implementation of Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader
18       that exists outside of Catalyst.
19
20       "Config::ZOMG" will scan a directory for files matching a certain name.
21       If such a file is found which also matches an extension that
22       Config::Any can read, then the configuration from that file will be
23       loaded.
24
25       "Config::ZOMG" will also look for special files that end with a
26       "_local" suffix. Files with this special suffix will take precedence
27       over any other existing configuration file, if any. The precedence
28       takes place by merging the local configuration with the "standard"
29       configuration via Hash::Merge::Simple.
30
31       Finally you can override/modify the path search from outside your
32       application, by setting the "${NAME}_CONFIG" variable outside your
33       application (where $NAME is the uppercase version of what you passed to
34       Config::ZOMG->new).
35

SYNPOSIS

37        use Config::ZOMG;
38
39        my $config = Config::ZOMG->new(
40          name => 'my_application',
41          path => 'path/to/my/application',
42        );
43        my $config_hash = $config->load;
44
45       This will look for something like (depending on what Config::Any will
46       find):
47
48        path/to/my/application/my_application_local.{yml,yaml,cnf,conf,jsn,json,...}
49
50       and
51
52        path/to/my/application/my_application.{yml,yaml,cnf,conf,jsn,json,...}
53
54       ... and load the found configuration information appropiately, with
55       "_local" taking precedence.
56
57       You can also specify a file directly:
58
59        my $config = Config::ZOMG->new(file => '/path/to/my/application/my_application.cnf');
60
61       To later reload your configuration:
62
63        $config->reload;
64

METHODS

66   new
67        $config = Config::ZOMG->new(...)
68
69       Returns a new "Config::ZOMG" object
70
71       You can configure the $config object by passing the following to new:
72
73       name
74         The name specifying the prefix of the configuration file to look for
75         and the ENV variable to read. This can be a package name. In any
76         case, :: will be substituted with _ in "name" and the result will be
77         lowercased.  To prevent modification of "name", pass it in as a
78         scalar reference.
79
80       "path"
81         The directory to search in
82
83       "file"
84         Directly read the configuration from this file. "Config::Any" must
85         recognize the extension. Setting this will override "path"
86
87       "no_local"
88         Disable lookup of a local configuration. The "local_suffix" option
89         will be ignored. Off by default
90
91       "local_suffix"
92         The suffix to match when looking for a local configuration. "local"
93         by default
94
95       "no_env"
96         Set this to ignore ENV. "env_lookup" will be ignored. Off by default
97
98       "env_lookup"
99         Additional ENV to check if $ENV{<NAME>...} is not found
100
101       "driver"
102         A hash consisting of "Config::" driver information. This is passed
103         directly through to "Config::Any"
104
105       "default"
106         A hash filled with default keys/values
107
108   open
109        $config_hash = Config::ZOMG->open( ... )
110
111       As an alternative way to load a config "open" will pass given arguments
112       to "new" then attempt to do "load"
113
114       Unlike "load" if no configuration files are found "open" will return
115       "undef" (or the empty list)
116
117       This is so you can do something like:
118
119        my $config_hash = Config::ZOMG->open( '/path/to/application.cnf' )
120          or die "Couldn't find config file!"
121
122       In scalar context "open" will return the config hash, not the config
123       object. If you want the config object call "open" in list context:
124
125           my ($config_hash, $config) = Config::ZOMG->open( ... )
126
127       You can pass any arguments to "open" that you would to "new"
128
129   load
130        $config->load
131
132       Load a config as specified by "new" and "ENV" and return a hash
133
134       This will only load the configuration once, so it's safe to call
135       multiple times without incurring any loading-time penalty
136
137   found
138        $config->found
139
140       Returns a list of files found
141
142       If the list is empty then no files were loaded/read
143
144   find
145         $config->find
146
147       Returns a list of files that configuration will be loaded from. Use
148       this method to check whether configuration files have changed, without
149       actually reloading.
150
151   clone
152        $config->clone
153
154       Return a clone of the configuration hash using Clone
155
156       This will load the configuration first, if it hasn't already
157
158   reload
159        $config->reload
160
161       Reload the configuration, examining ENV and scanning the path anew
162
163       Returns a hash of the configuration
164
