vcfg is a configuration file parsing library

Vcfg's planned feature set supports an extended ini file syntax, complete with nested sections, and variable interpolation, completed by environment variable interpolation.

See the example.ini file for more information about the planned syntax.

Installing with VPM

v install fuzzy.vcfg

Building manually

mkdir -p ~/.vmodules/fuzzy
cd ~/.vmodules/fuzzy
git clone https://github.com/fuzzy/vcfg
make

Example

Using the config file as config.ini:

base_dir = {env|HOME}/.local

[dirs]
cache = {base_dir}/myapp/cache

and the following code:

module main

import vcfg

fn main() {
  cfg := vcfg.new_parser('config.ini', true, true)
  cfg.parse()
  println(cfg.get_item('dirs', 'cache'))
  println(cfg.get_global('base_dir'))
  cfg.set_item('dirs', 'foo', 'bar')
  println(cfg.get_item('dirs', 'foo'))
}

would print:

/home/username/.local/myapp/cache
/home/username/.local
bar
