stavka

Stavka (Ставка) is the high command of your clojure application, which manages configuration from various sources.

Features

• Extensible configuration sources and formats
  • Sources:
    • Classpath (classpath)
    • File system (file)
    • URL (url)
    • JDBC (see examples)
  • Formats:
    • Environment variables (env)
    • JVM options (-D) (options)
    • JSON (json)
    • YAML (yaml)
    • Properties (property)
• Reloading by
  • Watching file system (watch)
  • Polling the source (poll)
• Listeners for value changing (on-change!)
• Type conversion ($l) ($f) ($b) ($s)

Usage

Setup

Use stavka with component or mount. You can have multiple config instance and manage life-cycle of updater.

(require '[stavka.core :as sta :refer :all])

;; Use stavka with mount
(defstate config
    :start
    ;; load configuration from multiple sources and merge them like
    ;; clojure.core/merge.
    (sta/using
        ;; using environment variables by default
        (env)
        ;; also load properties from classpath
        (properties (classpath "/default.properties"))
        ;; load another properties from filesystem, and watch is for change
        (properties (watch (file "/etc/stavka.properties")))
        ;; and fetch a remote json configuration. check every 10 seconds
        ;; for update.
        (json (poll (url "http://somehost/configuration/my.json") 10000)))

    :stop (stop-updaters! config))

;; Use stavka with component
(defrecord StavkaConfiguration [config]
    component/Lifecycle
    (start [component]
        (assoc component :config
            (sta/using
                (env)
                (properties (classpath "/default.properties"))
                (properties (watch (file "/etc/stavka.properties")))
                (json (poll (url "http://somehost/configuration/my.json") 10000)))))
    (stop [component]
        (stop-updaters! config)
        (assoc component :config nil)))

Configuration file format:

JSON

{
  "some": {
    "config": {
      "key" : "some-value"
    }
  }
}

Properties

some.config.key=some-value

Yaml

some:
  config:
    key: some-value

Get configuration item:

;; get configuration
($ config :some.config.key)

;; get configuration with type convertion
;; $l: as long
;; $f: as double
;; $s: as string
;; $b: as boolean
($l config :some.config.key)

Global config

And you can still use stavka globally:

(sta/global!
    (env)
    (properties (classpath "/default.properties"))
    (properties (watch (file "/etc/stavka.properties")))
    (json (poll (url "http://somehost/configuration/my.json") 10000)))

($l :some.config.key)

Listeners

Add change listener on some key when you have updater configured:

(on-change! config :some.config.key
    (fn [new-value previous-value]
        ))
