# TOML Config Provider

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/tlux/toml_config/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/tlux/toml_config?branch=master)
[![Hex.pm](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/toml_config.svg)](https://hex.pm/packages/toml_config)

A config provider to read [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml)
configuration files that works with Elixir (1.9+) releases.

Note: If you are building releases with Distillery, you can use the config
provider from the [toml-elixir](https://github.com/bitwalker/toml-elixir)
library.

## Prerequisites

* Elixir >= 1.9

## Installation

The package can be installed by adding `toml_config` to your list of
dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
[
{:toml_config, "~> 0.1", only: :prod}
]
end
```

## Usage

Update the release configuration in your mix.exs file:

You can either give a fully qualified pathname to the config file.

```elixir
releases: [
my_app: [
config_providers: [
{TomlConfigProvider, path: "/absolute/path/to/my/config.toml"}
],
...
]
]
```

Or you can read the config directory or path from a specified environment
variable. Booting the application fails if the specified environment variable is
undefined.

```elixir
releases: [
my_app: [
config_providers: [
{TomlConfigProvider,
path: {:system, "RELEASE_CONFIG_DIR", "my_app.toml"}}
],
...
]
]
```

Or:

```elixir
releases: [
my_app: [
config_providers: [
{TomlConfigProvider, path: {:system, "RELEASE_CONFIG_PATH"}}
],
...
]
]
```

All config provider options except `:path` are forwarded to `Toml.decode_file/2`
from the [toml-elixir](https://github.com/bitwalker/toml-elixir) library. Thus,
you can also provide custom transforms.

```elixir
config_providers: [
{TomlConfigProvider,
path: "path/to/my/config.toml",
transforms: [UrlTransform, TupleTransform]}
]
```

## Other Implementations

### `toml` Config Provider

The [toml](https://hex.pm/packages/toml) package brings it's own config provider
that unfortunately only works with
[distellery](https://github.com/bitwalker/distillery) releases at the moment.

### `toml_config_provider`

Unlike [toml_config_provider](https://hex.pm/packages/toml_config_provider),
this library allows specifying the location of the config file through
environment variables. This is quite useful when you have multiple (slightly
different) instances of a release running on the same machine, such as staging
and production environments. Additionally, we allow custom transform modules.
