NAME

App::Config::Chronicle - An OO configuration module which can be changed and stored into chronicle database.

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

my $app_config = App::Config::Chronicle->new;

DESCRIPTION

This module parses configuration files and provides interface to access configuration information.

FILE FORMAT

The configuration file is a YAML file. Here is an example:

system:
  description: "Various parameters determining core application functionality"
  isa: section
  contains:
    email:
      description: "Dummy email address"
      isa: Str
      default: "dummy@mail.com"
      global: 1
    refresh:
      description: "System refresh rate"
      isa: Num
      default: 10
      global: 1
    admins:
      description: "Are we on Production?"
      isa: ArrayRef
      default: []

Every attribute is very intuitive. If an item is global, you can change its value and the value will be stored into chronicle database by calling the method save_dynamic.
