ParseConfig provides simple parsing of standard configuration files in the form of 'param = value'. It also supports nested [group] sections.
$ sudo gem install parseconfig
Gemfile
gem 'parseconfig'
An example configuration file might look like:
# Example Config
param1 = value1
param2 = value2
[group1]
group1_param1 = group1_value1
group1_param2 = group1_value2
[group2]
group2_param1 = group2_value1
group2_param2 = group2_value2
Access it with ParseConfig:
>> require'parseconfig'=>true
>> config=ParseConfig.new('/path/to/config/example.conf')=>#<ParseConfig:0x102410908@config_file="example.conf",@groups=["group1","group2"],@params={"param1"=>"value1""param2"=>"value2",
"group1"=>{"param1"=>"value1""param2"=>"value2",
},"group2"=>{"param1"=>"value1""param2"=>"value2",
},}>
>> config.get_params=>["param1","param2","group1","group2"]
>> config['param1']=>"value1"
>> config.get_groups=>["group1","group2"]
>> config['group1']=>{"group1_param1"=>"group1_value1","group1_param2"=>"group1_value2"}
>> config['group1']['group1_param1']=>"group1_value1"
>> file=File.open('/path/to/config/file','w')=>#<File:file>
>> config.write(file)=>[]
>> file.close=>nilThe ParseConfig library is Open Source and distributed under the MIT license. Please see the LICENSE file included with this software.
