Enables Settings.get(‘nested.key.name’) for dynamic access

  while p = parts.shift
    curs = curs.send(p)
  end

new(hash_or_file = self.class.source, section = nil) click to toggle source

Initializes a new settings object. You can initialize an object in any of the following ways:

Settings.new(:application) # will look for config/application.yml
Settings.new("application.yaml") # will look for application.yaml
Settings.new("/var/configs/application.yml") # will look for /var/configs/application.yml
Settings.new(:config1 => 1, :config2 => 2)

Basically if you pass a symbol it will look for that file in the configs directory of your rails app, if you are using this in rails. If you pass a string it should be an absolute path to your settings file. Then you can pass a hash, and it just allows you to access the hash via methods.

# File lib/settingslogic.rb, line 94
def initialize(hash_or_file = self.class.source, section = nil)
  #puts "new! #{hash_or_file}"
  case hash_or_file
  when nil
    raise Errno::ENOENT, "No file specified as Settingslogic source"
  when Hash
    self.replace hash_or_file
  else
    file_contents = open(hash_or_file).read
    hash = file_contents.empty? ? {} : YAML.load(ERB.new(file_contents).result).to_hash
    if self.class.namespace
      hash = hash[self.class.namespace] or return missing_key("Missing setting '#{self.class.namespace}' in #{hash_or_file}")
    end
    self.replace hash

Use instance_eval/class_eval because they’re actually more efficient than define_method{} stackoverflow.com/questions/185947/ruby-definemethod-vs-def bmorearty.wordpress.com/2009/01/09/fun-with-rubys-instance_eval-and-class_eval/

  instance_variable_set("@#{key}", val)

create_accessors!() click to toggle source

This handles naming collisions with Sinatra/Vlad/Capistrano. Since these use a set() helper that defines methods in Object, ANY method_missing ANYWHERE picks up the Vlad/Sinatra settings! So settings.deploy_to title actually calls Object.deploy_to (from set :deploy_to, “host”), rather than the app_yml hash. Jeezus.

# File lib/settingslogic.rb, line 143
def create_accessors!
  self.each do |key,val|
    create_accessor_for(key)
  end
end
method_missing(name, *args, &block) click to toggle source

Called for dynamically-defined keys, and also the first key deferenced at the top-level, if load! is not used. Otherwise, create_accessors! (called by new) will have created actual methods for each key.

# File lib/settingslogic.rb, line 115
def method_missing(name, *args, &block)
  key = name.to_s
  return missing_key("Missing setting '#{key}' in #{@section}") unless has_key? key
  value = fetch(key)
  create_accessor_for(key)
  value.is_a?(Hash) ? self.class.new(value, "'#{key}' section in #{@section}") : value
end
missing_key(msg) click to toggle source 
# File lib/settingslogic.rb, line 186

  raise MissingSetting, msg

def symbolize_keys
  
  inject({}) do |memo, tuple|
    
    k = (tuple.first.to_sym rescue tuple.first) || tuple.first
          
    v = k.is_a?(Symbol) ? send(k) : tuple.last # make sure the value is accessed the same way Settings.foo.bar works
    
    memo[k] = v && v.respond_to?(:symbolize_keys) ? v.symbolize_keys : v #recurse for nested hashes
    
    memo
  end
  
end
to_hash() click to toggle source

Returns an instance of a Hash object

# File lib/settingslogic.rb, line 135
def to_hash
  Hash[self]
end
