[Dancer-users] Sharing config files

[Stephen Fenwick-Paul]

Ta, for the pointers. This does it, if anyone  else has similar needs

In your conf.yml

global_config : "../shared_conf/config.yml" # with relation to appdir

and some code to load it:


sub includeGlobalConfig {
  my $self = shift;

  my ($appdir) = setting('appdir');

  # For some reason Mason2 does not like the relative path
  $appdir =~ s|/bin/..||;

  my ($gconfig_file) = $appdir . "/" . config->{global_config};

  die "Unable to find global config '$gconfig_file'" unless  -f
$gconfig_file;

  my ($gconfig) = YAML::LoadFile($gconfig_file);

  # Merge with default
  map { config->{$_} = $gconfig->{$_} } keys %{$gconfig};

  # If your using Mason2
  config->{engines}{mason2}->{data_dir} = $appdir . "/data";
  config->{engines}{mason2}->{comp_root} = $appdir . "/views";
  config->{engines}{mason2}->{autoextend_request_path} = 0;
  # Mason2 bug - when not running from server (i.e. test), it looses appdir
for views
  config->{views} = $appdir . "/views";
};


And call it in your app.pm - something like:

package MyApp;

use Dancer ':syntax';

MyApp::Config->new()->includeGlobalConfig();

get '/index' => {

......

};
