API

Config Values: Environmental vs. Static

Our configuration system can have both environmental and static values for a given path.

Use the isEnvironmental parameter to specify the desired value type:

• true: Fetch the environmental value.
• false (default): Fetch the static value. If only an environmental value exists, it will be returned.

Config file example

server {
	port = 8080
	port = ${?PORT_ENV_VARIABLE}
	bind = ${?BIND_ENV_VARIABLE}
	bind = "test_bind"
}

Fetching values

config.get('server.port', true); // Gets environmental value
config.get('server.port'); // Gets static value, or environmental if no static exists

Checking values existence

config.has('server.bind', true); // Checks if environmental value exists
config.has('server.bind'); // Checks if static value exists
