## Chapter 12: Config.
|
||||
|
||||
For the time being we have been hard coding all the various values like the port and the web directory,
|
||||
its about time we made this configurable.
|
||||
|
||||
Lets create a config file that we can set the port and the host in. Lets say this config file is called `config`
|
||||
and can contain any format you want. YAML, JSON, INI, Plain text; whatever suits you and your language.
|
||||
|
||||
For these examples we will use YAML but they are all similar
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
host: localhost
|
||||
port: 9985
|
||||
web_directory: ./www
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Lets update the program to read the values from config and use those.
|
||||
|
||||
The whole point of making it configurable is the person deploying this in the future doesn't want to edit code or
|
||||
change values in your program to get it to work to their usecase. So by providing a way to configure your application
|
||||
it makes it more portable and usable in different situations.
|
||||
|
||||
This should be quite an easy chapter but its a reasonably important one.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Replace any hard coded values with values set in a config file.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bonus goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Provide sane defaults if the values are missing
|
||||
- Add your own config values.
