# SEC. Take a break and configure your application with ease.
|
|
|
|
**SEC** stands for "Simple Environment Configuration" and provides really simple way to configure your application.
|
|
|
|
After googling around Go applications configuration management packages that able to take parameters from environment configuration I came to a conclusion that there is none packages that able to do everything I want and yet have readable and testable source code.
|
|
|
|
Key intentions to create SEC:
|
|
|
|
* Parse configuration into structure with support of infinitely nested structures.
|
|
* Works properly with interfaces.
|
|
* No goto's.
|
|
* 100% code coverage.
|
|
* No external dependencies (only testify for tests).
|
|
* Readable code and proper variables naming.
|
|
* Debug mode
|
|
|
|
This list might be updated if new key intention arrives :).
|
|
|
|
SEC was written under impression from https://github.com/vrischmann/envconfig/.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Go modules and dep are supported. Other package managers might or might not work, MRs are welcome!
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
SEC is designed to be easy to use parser, so there is only one requirement - passed data should be a structure. You cannot do something like:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
var Data string
|
|
sec.Parse(&Data, nil)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will throw errors, as any type you'll pass, except for pointer to structure.
|
|
|
|
SEC is unable to parse embedded unexported things except structures due to inability to get embedded field's address. Embed only structures, please.
|
|
|
|
### Debug
|
|
|
|
To get additional debug output set ``SEC_DEBUG`` environment variable to ``true``. If invalid boolean value will be passed it'll output error about that.
|
|
|
|
Debug output uses standart log package. This may change in future. |
