From: Sawyer X <xsawyerx@gmail.com> I suggest not using Dancer2 for the config loading here. The config loading for Dancer2 really should be for the framework. Even though you can add configurations for the app, it seems like a very custom and advanced situation.

What I recommend is having a setup() method in your app that loads configuration files for the database handles. Then you call that setup and *then* call ->to_app.

Do you understand what I mean?

I believe so -- I had a look at your (SawyerX's) Act code (on github) and you've used setup in a similar way there. Is it possible to use a setup() method to alter the contents of the 'config' variable? For example, I would like to be able to switch sessions on and off without having to remove the session engine settings from the config file. If it's not possible, it's not a problem -- I'll do things a different way. Thanks! Amelia.

To answer my own question, the easiest thing is to use app->load_config_file(...) and merge the settings into the app config.

Hello all,

Is there a recommended method for using multiple configuration files

Dancer2 application in addition to the config.xxx and development.xxx/production.xxx files? My app uses a couple of databases with passwords that are changed on a regular basis, and I'd like to be able to drop DB config files into the environments folder and have them automatically included rather than having to edit config files by hand or regenerate them by script. If there's something that already exists that I can use, that would be great!

Thanks! Amelia.
