config
Package with StructureAll the configuration stuff I’ve built in the past has been flattened
for simplicity into Redis-like key-value pairs, but that has always
struct me as an unnecessary limitation. I want my new Bonzai defacto
standard config (which is maintained as a Bonzai sub-package like
help.Cmd
) to be able to use complex configuration files, but how to
create an easy way to write and read from it? I know I want some method
of pathing as jq
supports. I wonder if I can pass a struct and have it
use reflection to get the structure. Go is too rigid to allow people to
just change things up. I keep thinking of how Kubernetes does this. For
the most part K8S has you change the file rather than try to change
individual values (although you can), and just using jq
to get the
values is probably better than anything else. I suppose if an
application needed to change the configuration file it could use its own
struct and just use the config
Bonzai branch to find the file to use,
lock it, and such. The config
package could also just pass stuff to
jq
for now to be able to query the values easily until I can port the
main parts of jq
over to Go.
