## [Twelve Factor Methodology](https://12factor.net)

Externalized Properties was inspired by the [The Twelve Factor Methodology](https://12factor.net)'s section [III. Config](https://12factor.net/config).  

The goal of this library is to make it easy for applications to implement configuration best practices by providing easy-to-use APIs as well as providing the flexibility to choose where to store their configurations/properties.

## 🛠️ Installation

### Gradle

```groovy

implementation "io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties:externalized-properties-core:${version}"

// Optional/additional resolvers

implementation "io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties:externalized-properties-database:${version}"

implementation "io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties:externalized-properties-git:${version}"

```

### Maven

```xml

  io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties

  externalized-properties-core

  ${version}

  io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties

  externalized-properties-database

  ${version}

  io.github.joel-jeremy.externalized-properties

  externalized-properties-git

  ${version}

```

### 🧩 Java 9 Module Names

Externalized Properties jars are published with Automatic-Module-Name manifest attribute:

- Core - `io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.core`

- Database Resolver - `io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.database`

- Git Resolver - `io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.git`

Module authors can use above module names in their module-info.java:

```java

module foo.bar {

  requires io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.core;

  requires io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.database;

  requires io.github.joeljeremy.externalizedproperties.git;

}

```

## 🌟 Features

Externalized Properties takes full advantage of Java's [Dynamic Proxies](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/reflection/proxy.html) ([Why Dynamic Proxies?](docs/why-dynamic-proxies.md)).

- [Caching](docs/property-resolution.md#-caching)  

- [Eager Loading](docs/property-resolution.md#-eager-loading)  

- [Custom Resolvers](docs/property-resolution.md#-custom-resolvers)  

### ✔️ Conversion

- [Ordinal Converters](docs/ordinal-components.md#-ordinal-converters)

## 🏎️ Quick Start

Properties are mapped to proxy interface methods by using the [@ExternalizedProperty](core/src/main/java/io/github/joeljeremy/externalizedproperties/core/ExternalizedProperty.java) annotation.

(For more advanced scenarios, please see the feature documentations.)

Given an interface:

```java

public interface ApplicationProperties {

  @ExternalizedProperty("java.home")

  String javaHome();

  @ExternalizedProperty("encrypted.property")

  @Decrypt("MyDecryptor")

  String encryptedProperty();

  @ExternalizedProperty("java.version")

  int javaVersion();

}

```

We can initialize and start resolving external configurations/properties by:

```java

public static void main(String[] args) {

  // 1. Configure and build the ExternalizedProperties instance.

  ExternalizedProperties externalizedProperties = buildExternalizedProperties();

  // 2. Initialize a proxy using the ExternalizedProperties.

  ApplicationProperties props = externalizedProperties.initialize(ApplicationProperties.class);

  // 3. Resolve the properties.

  String javaHome = props.javaHome();

  String encryptedProperty = props.encryptedProperty();

  int javaVersion = props.javaVersion();

}

private static ExternalizedProperties buildExternalizedProperties() {

  return ExternalizedProperties.builder()

      .defaults() 

      .resolvers(...)

      .processors(...)

      .converters(...) 

      .build();

}

```
