NAME

App::Rad::Plugin::ConfigLoader - Load config files of various types

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

    use App::Rad qw(ConfigLoader);

That's it. Now you can use the usual $c->load_config() method to load your application's configuration file in any format supported by Config::Any (Apache-like, JSON, YAML, XML, Windows INI, etc).

    $c->load_config('somefile.yml');

Then just access its items through the regular $c->config hash.

DESCRIPTION

Although App::Rad's standard $c->load_config() method intends to be intuitive and somewhat flexible for simple configuration files, you may need something more sofisticated or standardized for your applications.

This module extends App::Rad's functionality by letting you use Config::Any to load configuration files of various types transparently.

Please refer to Config::Any for more information on acepted file formats.

Loading configuration files

This plugin overrides App::Rad's standard $c->load_config methodto support different file formats according to their file extension while providing the same syntax.

$c->load_config( FILE [,FILE2, FILE3, ...] )

Different files can have different extensions and they all should load transparently in order to be accessed via $c->config.
