Overview

Please run git pull --tags to update the tags. See below why.

properties is a Go library for reading and writing properties files.

It supports reading from multiple files or URLs and Spring style recursive property expansion of expressions like ${key} to their corresponding value. Value expressions can refer to other keys like in ${key} or to environment variables like in ${USER}. Filenames can also contain environment variables like in /home/${USER}/myapp.properties.

Properties can be decoded into structs, maps, arrays and values through struct tags.

Comments and the order of keys are preserved. Comments can be modified and can be written to the output.

The properties library supports both ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 encoded data.

Starting from version 1.3.0 the behavior of the MustXXX() functions is configurable by providing a custom ErrorHandler function. The default has changed from panic to log.Fatal but this is configurable and custom error handling functions can be provided. See the package documentation for details.

	"flag"
	"github.com/magiconair/properties"
)

func main() {
	// init from a file
	p := properties.MustLoadFile("${HOME}/config.properties", properties.UTF8)

	// or multiple files
	p = properties.MustLoadFiles([]string{
			"${HOME}/config.properties",
			"${HOME}/config-${USER}.properties",
		}, properties.UTF8, true)

	// or from a map
	p = properties.LoadMap(map[string]string{"key": "value", "abc": "def"})

	// or from a string
	p = properties.MustLoadString("key=value\nabc=def")

	// or from a URL
	p = properties.MustLoadURL("http://host/path")

	// or from multiple URLs
	p = properties.MustLoadURL([]string{
			"http://host/config",
			"http://host/config-${USER}",
		}, true)

	// or from flags
	p.MustFlag(flag.CommandLine)

	// get values through getters
	host := p.MustGetString("host")
	port := p.GetInt("port", 8080)

	// or through Decode
	type Config struct {
		Host    string        `properties:"host"`
		Port    int           `properties:"port,default=9000"`
		Accept  []string      `properties:"accept,default=image/png;image;gif"`
		Timeout time.Duration `properties:"timeout,default=5s"`
	}
	var cfg Config
	if err := p.Decode(&cfg); err != nil {

Updated Git tags

13 Feb 2018

I realized that all of the git tags I had pushed before v1.7.5 were lightweight tags and I've only recently learned that this doesn't play well with git describe 😞

I have replaced all lightweight tags with signed tags using this script which should retain the commit date, name and email address. Please run git pull --tags to update them.

Worst case you have to reclone the repo.

#!/bin/bash
tag=$1
echo "Updating $tag"
date=$(git show ${tag}^0 --format=%aD | head -1)
email=$(git show ${tag}^0 --format=%aE | head -1)
name=$(git show ${tag}^0 --format=%aN | head -1)
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$date" GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$name" GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$email" git tag -s -f ${tag} ${tag}^0 -m ${tag}

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Documentation

Overview

Package properties provides functions for reading and writing ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 encoded .properties files and has support for recursive property expansion.

Java properties files are ISO-8859-1 encoded and use Unicode literals for characters outside the ISO character set. Unicode literals can be used in UTF-8 encoded properties files but aren't necessary.

To load a single properties file use MustLoadFile(): 

p := properties.MustLoadFile(filename, properties.UTF8)

To load multiple properties files use MustLoadFiles() which loads the files in the given order and merges the result. Missing properties files can be ignored if the 'ignoreMissing' flag is set to true.

Filenames can contain environment variables which are expanded before loading. 

f1 := "/etc/myapp/myapp.conf"
f2 := "/home/${USER}/myapp.conf"
p := MustLoadFiles([]string{f1, f2}, properties.UTF8, true)

All of the different key/value delimiters ' ', ':' and '=' are supported as well as the comment characters '!' and '#' and multi-line values. 

! this is a comment
# and so is this

# the following expressions are equal
key value
key=value
key:value
key = value
key : value
key = val\
      ue

Properties stores all comments preceding a key and provides GetComments() and SetComments() methods to retrieve and update them. The convenience functions GetComment() and SetComment() allow access to the last comment. The WriteComment() method writes properties files including the comments and with the keys in the original order. This can be used for sanitizing properties files.

Property expansion is recursive and circular references and malformed expressions are not allowed and cause an error. Expansion of environment variables is supported. 

# standard property
key = value

# property expansion: key2 = value
key2 = ${key}

# recursive expansion: key3 = value
key3 = ${key2}

# circular reference (error)
key = ${key}

# malformed expression (error)
key = ${ke

# refers to the users' home dir
home = ${HOME}

# local key takes precedence over env var: u = foo
USER = foo
u = ${USER}

The default property expansion format is ${key} but can be changed by setting different pre- and postfix values on the Properties object. 

p := properties.NewProperties()
p.Prefix = "#["
p.Postfix = "]#"

Properties provides convenience functions for getting typed values with default values if the key does not exist or the type conversion failed. 

# Returns true if the value is either "1", "on", "yes" or "true"
# Returns false for every other value and the default value if
# the key does not exist.
v = p.GetBool("key", false)

# Returns the value if the key exists and the format conversion
# was successful. Otherwise, the default value is returned.
v = p.GetInt64("key", 999)
v = p.GetUint64("key", 999)
v = p.GetFloat64("key", 123.0)
v = p.GetString("key", "def")
v = p.GetDuration("key", 999)

As an alternative properties may be applied with the standard library's flag implementation at any time. 

# Standard configuration
v = flag.Int("key", 999, "help message")
flag.Parse()

# Merge p into the flag set
p.MustFlag(flag.CommandLine)

Properties provides several MustXXX() convenience functions which will terminate the app if an error occurs. The behavior of the failure is configurable and the default is to call log.Fatal(err). To have the MustXXX() functions panic instead of logging the error set a different ErrorHandler before you use the Properties package. 

properties.ErrorHandler = properties.PanicHandler

# Will panic instead of logging an error
p := properties.MustLoadFile("config.properties")

You can also provide your own ErrorHandler function. The only requirement is that the error handler function must exit after handling the error. 

  properties.ErrorHandler = func(err error) {
	     fmt.Println(err)
      os.Exit(1)
  }

  # Will write to stdout and then exit
  p := properties.MustLoadFile("config.properties")

Properties can also be loaded into a struct via the `Decode` method, e.g. 

type S struct {
    A string        `properties:"a,default=foo"`
    D time.Duration `properties:"timeout,default=5s"`
    E time.Time     `properties:"expires,layout=2006-01-02,default=2015-01-01"`
}

See `Decode()` method for the full documentation.

The following documents provide a description of the properties file format.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.properties

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#load%28java.io.Reader%29

Example 
// Decode some key/value pairs with expressions
p, err := Load([]byte("key=value\nkey2=${key}"), ISO_8859_1)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Get a valid key
if v, ok := p.Get("key"); ok {
	fmt.Println(v)
}

// Get an invalid key
if _, ok := p.Get("does not exist"); !ok {
	fmt.Println("invalid key")
}

// Get a key with a default value
v := p.GetString("does not exist", "some value")
fmt.Println(v)

// Dump the expanded key/value pairs of the Properties
fmt.Println("Expanded key/value pairs")
fmt.Println(p)

Output:

value
invalid key
some value
Expanded key/value pairs
key = value
key2 = value

	ISO_8859_1
)

type ErrorHandlerFunc added in v1.3.0 

type ErrorHandlerFunc func(error)

ErrorHandlerFunc defines the type of function which handles failures of the MustXXX() functions. An error handler function must exit the application after handling the error. 

var ErrorHandler ErrorHandlerFunc = LogFatalHandler

ErrorHandler is the function which handles failures of the MustXXX() functions. The default is LogFatalHandler.

type Loader added in v1.8.0 

type Loader struct {
	// Encoding determines how the data from files and byte buffers
	// is interpreted. For URLs the Content-Type header is used
	// to determine the encoding of the data.
	Encoding Encoding

	// DisableExpansion configures the property expansion of the
	// returned property object. When set to true, the property values
	// will not be expanded and the Property object will not be checked
	// for invalid expansion expressions.
	DisableExpansion bool

	// IgnoreMissing configures whether missing files or URLs which return
	// 404 are reported as errors. When set to true, missing files and 404
	// status codes are not reported as errors.
	IgnoreMissing bool
}

func (*Loader) LoadAll added in v1.8.0 

func (l *Loader) LoadAll(names []string) (*Properties, error)

LoadAll reads the content of multiple URLs or files in the given order into a Properties struct. If IgnoreMissing is true then a 404 status code or missing file will not be reported as error. Encoding sets the encoding for files. For the URLs see LoadURL for the Content-Type header and the encoding.

func (*Loader) LoadBytes added in v1.8.0 

func (l *Loader) LoadBytes(buf []byte) (*Properties, error)

Load reads a buffer into a Properties struct.

LoadURL reads the content of the URL into a Properties struct.

The encoding is determined via the Content-Type header which should be set to 'text/plain'. If the 'charset' parameter is missing, 'iso-8859-1' or 'latin1' the encoding is set to ISO-8859-1. If the 'charset' parameter is set to 'utf-8' the encoding is set to UTF-8. A missing content type header is interpreted as 'text/plain; charset=utf-8'.

type LogHandlerFunc added in v1.7.0 

type LogHandlerFunc func(fmt string, args ...interface{})

LogHandlerFunc defines the function prototype for logging errors. 

var LogPrintf LogHandlerFunc = log.Printf

type Properties 

type Properties struct {
	// Pre-/Postfix for property expansion.
	Prefix  string
	Postfix string

	// DisableExpansion controls the expansion of properties on Get()
	// and the check for circular references on Set(). When set to
	// true Properties behaves like a simple key/value store and does
	// not check for circular references on Get() or on Set().
	DisableExpansion bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Properties contains the key/value pairs from the properties input. All values are stored in unexpanded form and are expanded at runtime

fmt.Println(ok)
fmt.Println(v)

Output:

true
ISO-8859-1 value with unicode literal ⌘ and umlaut ä
Example (Utf8) 
p, _ := Load([]byte("key = UTF-8 value with unicode character ⌘ and umlaut ä"), UTF8)
v, ok := p.Get("key")

func (*Properties) Decode added in v1.6.0 

func (p *Properties) Decode(x interface{}) error

Decode assigns property values to exported fields of a struct.

Decode traverses v recursively and returns an error if a value cannot be converted to the field type or a required value is missing for a field.

The following type dependent decodings are used:

String, boolean, numeric fields have the value of the property key assigned. The property key name is the name of the field. A different key and a default value can be set in the field's tag. Fields without default value are required. If the value cannot be converted to the field type an error is returned.

time.Duration fields have the result of time.ParseDuration() assigned.

time.Time fields have the vaule of time.Parse() assigned. The default layout is time.RFC3339 but can be set in the field's tag.

Arrays and slices of string, boolean, numeric, time.Duration and time.Time fields have the value interpreted as a comma separated list of values. The individual values are trimmed of whitespace and empty values are ignored. A default value can be provided as a semicolon separated list in the field's tag.

Struct fields are decoded recursively using the field name plus "." as prefix. The prefix (without dot) can be overridden in the field's tag. Default values are not supported in the field's tag. Specify them on the fields of the inner struct instead.

Map fields must have a key of type string and are decoded recursively by using the field's name plus ".' as prefix and the next element of the key name as map key. The prefix (without dot) can be overridden in the field's tag. Default values are not supported.

Examples: 

// Field is ignored.
Field int `properties:"-"`

// Field is assigned value of 'Field'.
Field int

// Field is assigned value of 'myName'.
Field int `properties:"myName"`

// Field is assigned value of key 'myName' and has a default
// value 15 if the key does not exist.
Field int `properties:"myName,default=15"`

// Field is assigned value of key 'Field' and has a default
// value 15 if the key does not exist.
Field int `properties:",default=15"`

// Field is assigned value of key 'date' and the date
// is in format 2006-01-02
Field time.Time `properties:"date,layout=2006-01-02"`

// Field is assigned the non-empty and whitespace trimmed
// values of key 'Field' split by commas.
Field []string

// Field is assigned the non-empty and whitespace trimmed
// values of key 'Field' split by commas and has a default
// value ["a", "b", "c"] if the key does not exist.
Field []string `properties:",default=a;b;c"`

// Field is decoded recursively with "Field." as key prefix.
Field SomeStruct

// Field is decoded recursively with "myName." as key prefix.
Field SomeStruct `properties:"myName"`

// Field is decoded recursively with "Field." as key prefix
// and the next dotted element of the key as map key.
Field map[string]string

// Field is decoded recursively with "myName." as key prefix
// and the next dotted element of the key as map key.
Field map[string]string `properties:"myName"`

MustGetUint parses the expanded value as an int if the key exists. If key does not exist or the value cannot be parsed the function panics. If the value does not fit into an int the function panics with an out of range error.

func (*Properties) MustGetUint64 added in v1.2.0 

func (p *Properties) MustGetUint64(key string) uint64

MustGetUint64 parses the expanded value as an int if the key exists. If key does not exist or the value cannot be parsed the function panics.

func (*Properties) MustSet added in v1.5.0 

func (p *Properties) MustSet(key, value string) (prev string, ok bool)

MustSet sets the property key to the corresponding value. If a value for key existed before then ok is true and prev contains the previous value. An empty key is silently ignored.

func (*Properties) Set 

func (p *Properties) Set(key, value string) (prev string, ok bool, err error)

Set sets the property key to the corresponding value. If a value for key existed before then ok is true and prev contains the previous value. If the value contains a circular reference or a malformed expression then an error is returned. An empty key is silently ignored.

func (*Properties) SetComment added in v1.5.0 

func (p *Properties) SetComment(key, comment string)

SetComment sets the comment for the key.

func (*Properties) SetComments added in v1.5.0 

func (p *Properties) SetComments(key string, comments []string)

SetComments sets the comments for the key. If the comments are nil then all comments for this key are deleted.

func (*Properties) SetValue added in v1.7.3 

func (p *Properties) SetValue(key string, value interface{}) error

SetValue sets property key to the default string value as defined by fmt.Sprintf("%v").

func (*Properties) String 

func (p *Properties) String() string

String returns a string of all expanded 'key = value' pairs.

func (*Properties) Write 

func (p *Properties) Write(w io.Writer, enc Encoding) (n int, err error)

Write writes all unexpanded 'key = value' pairs to the given writer. Write returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered.

func (*Properties) WriteComment added in v1.5.0 

func (p *Properties) WriteComment(w io.Writer, prefix string, enc Encoding) (n int, err error)

WriteComment writes all unexpanced 'key = value' pairs to the given writer. If prefix is not empty then comments are written with a blank line and the given prefix. The prefix should be either "# " or "! " to be compatible with the properties file format. Otherwise, the properties parser will not be able to read the file back in. It returns the number of bytes written and any write error encountered.

Notes

Bugs

  • Set() does not check for invalid unicode literals since this is currently handled by the lexer.

  • Write() does not allow to configure the newline character. Therefore, on Windows LF is used.
