The simplest yaml to ENV config loader.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'envyable'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install envyable
Create a yaml file that holds your settings. You can put default settings into the root of the yaml file and then override those on an environment by environment basis. For example, the following yaml file will load the id "development-id" into all environments it is loaded in except for the test environment, where the id would be "test-id".
API_CLIENT_ID: development-id
test:
API_CLIENT_ID: test-id
Once installed in a Rails app, add your yaml file at config/env.yml. The gem will load the correct environment on initialization of the application.
You can create your yaml file anywhere (though why not config/env.yml?). To load your yaml file into ENV, call:
Envyable.load('path/to/yml', environment)
The default environment is development if you leave that argument blank. For example, if your variables are in a config folder in a file called env.yml, and you want to load development only, include in your script:
require 'envyable'
Envyable.load('config/env.yml')
It is not recommended that you check the yaml file in to version control. Personally, I like to check in a env.yml.example file that shows the required keys, but does not include any credentials.
