Usage

Importing
import "github.com/usvc/go-config"
Defining configuration

Following example can also be found at ./cmd/config/config.go

var conf = config.Map{
	// with env : BOOL=true
	// with flag: --bool | -b
	"bool": &config.Bool{
		Default:   false,
		Shorthand: "b",
		Usage:     "specifies a boolean value",
	},
	// with env : FLOAT=-123
	// with flag: --float -123 | -f -123
	"float": &config.Float{
		Default:   1.6180339887498948482045868343,
		Shorthand: "f",
		Usage:     "specifies a floating point value",
	},
	// with env : INT=-123
	// with flag: --int -123 | -i -123
	"int": &config.Int{
		Default:   -1,
		Shorthand: "i",
		Usage:     "specifies a signed integer value",
	},
	// with env : INTS="-123 -456"
	// with flag: --int-slice -123,-456 | -I -123,-456
	"int slice": &config.IntSlice{
		Default:   []int{-2, -3},
		Shorthand: "I",
		Usage:     "specifies a slice of signed integers value",
	},
	// with env : STRING=value
	// with flag: --string value | -s value
	"string": &config.String{
		Default:   "default",
		Shorthand: "s",
		Usage:     "specifies a string value",
	},
	// with env : STRING_SLICE="value1 value2"
	// with flag: --string-slice value1,value2 | -S value1,value2
	"string slice": &config.StringSlice{
		Default:   []string{"hello", "world"},
		Shorthand: "S",
		Usage:     "specifies a slice of strings value",
	},
	// with env : UINT=123
	// with flag: --uint 123 | -u 123
	"uint": &config.Uint{
		Default:   1,
		Shorthand: "u",
		Usage:     "specifies an unsigned integer value",
	},
}
Consuming from environment

Following example assumes the above conf variable was defined.

conf.LoadFromEnvironment()
Applying to Cobra (github.com/spf13/cobra package)

Following example assumes the above conf variable was defined.

cmd := cobra.Command { /* ... config ... */ }
/* ... everything else ... */
conf.ApplyToCobra(&cmd)
// OR
conf.ApplyToCobraPersistent(&cmd)
cmd.Execute()

When using conf.ApplyToCobra() or conf.ApplyToCobraPersistent(), the flag takes priority if the equivalent environment variable was also defined. This is the behaviour since 0.2.5.

Retrieving values frrom the configuration

Following example assumes the above conf variable was defined.

fmt.Println("bool         : %v", conf.GetBool("bool"))
fmt.Println("float        : %v", conf.GetFloat("float"))
fmt.Println("int          : %v", conf.GetInt("int"))
fmt.Println("int slice    : %v", conf.GetIntSlice("int slice"))
fmt.Println("string       : %s", conf.GetString("string"))
fmt.Println("string slice : %v", conf.GetStringSlice("string slice"))
fmt.Println("uint         : %v", conf.GetUint("uint"))

If you've applied the above config.Map instance to Cobra, running the following:

go run ./cmd/config \
	--bool=true \
	--float 3.142 \
	--int 1 \
	--int-slice 1,-2,3,-4,5 \
	--string a \
	--string-slice a,b,c,d,e \
	--uint 1

Should result in the following output:

uint: 1
bool: true
float: 3.142
int: 1
int slice: [1 -2 3 -4 5] (length: 5)
string: a
string slice: [a b c d e] (length: 5)

If you ran the following:
Note on *Slice types

For the slice types (IntSlice, StringSlice), the delimiter is a comma (,) despite the underlying package (github.com/spf13/viper) handling the splitting a little differently. A tiny hack (famous last words: sorry, me-in-2025) was made to parse these using commas instead of spaces.

Note on configuration names

The config.Map is used to define a dictionary of your configuration values using a map[string]config.Config data structure. The string becomes the name of the configuration and this string is manipulated before being passed to the downstream library.

For environment variables, all non-alphanumeric characters will be converted to an underscore (_), and all alphabetic characters will be converted to UPPERCASE_IN_SNAKE_CASE.

For flags, all non-alphanumeric characters will be converted to a hypen (-), and all alphabetic characters will be converted to lowercase-in-kebab-case.

Example CLI Application

The example CLI application can be found in the ./cmd/config directory and includes the configuration as found above. To test it out you can run the following:

# bool
go run ./cmd/config --bool
BOOL=1 go run ./cmd/config

# float
go run ./cmd/config --float 3.142
FLOAT=3.142 go run ./cmd/config

# int
go run ./cmd/config --int -12345
INT=-12345 go run ./cmd/config

# []int
go run ./cmd/config --int-slice -12345 --int-slice -67890
INT_SLICE="-12345 -67890" go run ./cmd/config

# string
go run ./cmd/config --string "hello world"
STRING="hello world" go run ./cmd/config

# []string
go run ./cmd/config --string-slice "hello" --string-slice "world"
STRING_SLICE="hello world" go run ./cmd/config

# uint
go run ./cmd/config --uint 12345
UINT=12345 go run ./cmd/config

Continuous Integration (CI) Pipeline
On Github

Github is used to deploy binaries/libraries because of it's ease of access by other developers.

Releasing

Releasing of the binaries can be done via Travis CI.

  1. On Github, navigate to the tokens settings page (by clicking on your profile picture, selecting Settings, selecting Developer settings on the left navigation menu, then Personal Access Tokens again on the left navigation menu)
  2. Click on Generate new token, give the token an appropriate name and check the checkbox on public_repo within the repo header
  3. Copy the generated token
  4. Navigate to travis-ci.org and access the cooresponding repository there. Click on the More options button on the top right of the repository page and select Settings
  5. Scroll down to the section on Environment Variables and enter in a new NAME with RELEASE_TOKEN and the VALUE field cooresponding to the generated personal access token, and hit Add
On Gitlab

Gitlab is used to run tests and ensure that builds run correctly.

Version Bumping
  1. Run make .ssh
  2. Copy the contents of the file generated at ./.ssh/id_rsa.base64 into an environment variable named DEPLOY_KEY in Settings > CI/CD > Variables
  3. Navigate to the Deploy Keys section of the Settings > Repository > Deploy Keys and paste in the contents of the file generated at ./.ssh/id_rsa.pub with the Write access allowed checkbox enabled
  • DEPLOY_KEY: generate this by running make .ssh and copying the contents of the file generated at ./.ssh/id_rsa.base64
DockerHub Publishing
  1. Login to https://hub.docker.com, or if you're using your own private one, log into yours
  2. Navigate to your security settings at the /settings/security endpoint
  3. Click on Create Access Token, type in a name for the new token, and click on Create
  4. Copy the generated token that will be displayed on the screen
  5. Enter the following varialbes into the CI/CD Variables page at Settings > CI/CD > Variables in your Gitlab repository:
  • DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL: The hostname of the Docker registry (defaults to docker.io if not specified)
  • DOCKER_REGISTRY_USERNAME: The username you used to login to the Docker registry
  • DOCKER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD: The generated access token

Overview

github.com/usvc/go-config is a package to manage configuration values in libraries/applications.

Defining a configuration map: 

var conf = config.Map{
	"bool_key": &config.Bool{},
	"float_key": &config.Float{},
	"int_key": &config.Int{},
	"int_slice_key": &config.IntSlice{},
	"string_key": &config.String{},
	"string_slice_key": &config.StringSlice{},
	"uint_key": &config.Uint{},
}

Loading environment variables (assuming conf is defined): 

conf.LoadFromEnvironment()

Applying to an instance of cobra.Command: 

command := cobra.Command{ ... }
conf.ApplyToCobra(&command)

Applying to an instance of cobra.Command persistently: 

command := cobra.Command{ ... }
conf.ApplyToCobraPersistent(&command)
