Functions

func NewFactory

func NewFactory() confmap.ProviderFactory

NewFactory returns a factory for a confmap.Provider that reads the configuration from a file.

This Provider supports "file" scheme, and can be called with a "uri" that follows:

file-uri		= "file:" local-path
local-path		= [ drive-letter ] file-path
drive-letter	= ALPHA ":"

The "file-path" can be relative or absolute, and it can be any OS supported format.

Examples: `file:path/to/file` - relative path (unix, windows) `file:/path/to/file` - absolute path (unix, windows) `file:c:/path/to/file` - absolute path including drive-letter (windows) `file:c:\path\to\file` - absolute path including drive-letter (windows)
