Clojurians Log v2

I think your way is good. I personally use aero to read the configuration from a file and handle different run profiles (dev/test/staging/production) all of which have their own defaults and override possibilities.

I did look at some other files and noticed that you can include function calls. I didn't understand why he used the hash symbol in front of the function them saw that it was a way to store function calls in edn. That makes it a lot easier to move to a file since some of my config relies on env vars.

Thanks for responding btw

(defmethod aero.core/reader 'envr
  [_ _ s]
  (env s))

(defmethod aero.core/reader 'component
  [opts tag value]
  (integrant/ref value))

I use the above readers with aero to read the config with environment variables.

I was wondering, if I'm referencing integrant.core :as ig why does aero not look for that when it attempts to read it.

if I have #ig/ref in my config

I guess I have to do something like

(binding [*data-readers* {'ig/ref ig/ref}]
  (aero/read-config (<http://clojure.java.io/resource|clojure.java.io/resource> "config.edn")))

You can just defmethod the reader, take my snippet above and replace component with ig/ref. Aero has its own multimethod for adding readers.

Cool I think I got a good solution using aero, consolidates things nicely, just took some time experimenting

@theeternalpulse @sandqvist thanks for the "secret sauce" I stumbled upon the same problem with environment variables. I'll use Aero too 🙂

It is almost better than christmas morning

@jarvinenemil I should push my branch with the aero changes, it requires some divergences with integrant, but I like the ability to add edn tag readers easily. My config.clj now is just the readers for some edn tags and a facade to read the config, but the config itself is in edn

@theeternalpulse It would be awesome to see your aero changes, thanks for sharing your work!

That is how i do it.
