Constructor Details

#initialize(hash_or_file = self.class.source, section = nil) ⇒ Settingslogic

Initializes a new settings object. You can initialize an object in any of the following ways:

Settings.new(:application) # will look for config/application.yml
Settings.new("application.yaml") # will look for application.yaml
Settings.new("/var/configs/application.yml") # will look for /var/configs/application.yml
Settings.new(:config1 => 1, :config2 => 2)

Basically if you pass a symbol it will look for that file in the configs directory of your rails app, if you are using this in rails. If you pass a string it should be an absolute path to your settings file. Then you can pass a hash, and it just allows you to access the hash via methods.

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Called for dynamically-defined keys, and also the first key deferenced at the top-level, if load! is not used. Otherwise, create_accessors! (called by new) will have created actual methods for each key.

Raises:

  value.is_a?(Hash) ? self.class.new(value, "'#{key}' section in #{@section}") : value
end

#create_accessors! ⇒ Object

This handles naming collisions with Sinatra/Vlad/Capistrano. Since these use a set() helper that defines methods in Object, ANY method_missing ANYWHERE picks up the Vlad/Sinatra settings! So settings.deploy_to title actually calls Object.deploy_to (from set :deploy_to, “host”), rather than the app_yml hash. Jeezus.
