NAME

       MooseX::SimpleConfig - A Moose role for setting attributes from a simple configuration file

VERSION

       version 0.11

SYNOPSIS

         ## A YAML configfile named /etc/my_app.yaml:
         foo: bar
         baz: 123

         ## In your class
         package My::App;
         use Moose;

         with 'MooseX::SimpleConfig';

         has 'foo' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1);
         has 'baz'  => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int', required => 1);

         # ... rest of the class here

         ## in your script
         #!/usr/bin/perl

         use My::App;

         my $app = My::App->new_with_config(configfile => '/etc/my_app.yaml');
         # ... rest of the script here

         ####################
         ###### combined with MooseX::Getopt:

         ## In your class
         package My::App;
         use Moose;

         with 'MooseX::SimpleConfig';
         with 'MooseX::Getopt';

         has 'foo' => (is => 'ro', isa => 'Str', required => 1);
         has 'baz'  => (is => 'rw', isa => 'Int', required => 1);

         # ... rest of the class here

         ## in your script
         #!/usr/bin/perl

         use My::App;

         my $app = My::App->new_with_options();
         # ... rest of the script here

         ## on the command line
         % perl my_app_script.pl -configfile /etc/my_app.yaml -otherthing 123

DESCRIPTION

       This role loads simple files to set object attributes.  It is based on the abstract role
       MooseX::ConfigFromFile, and uses Config::Any to load your configuration file.  Config::Any will in turn
       support any of a variety of different config formats, detected by the file extension.  See Config::Any
       for more details about supported formats.

       To pass additional arguments to Config::Any you must provide a "config_any_args()" method, for example:

         sub config_any_args {
           return {
             driver_args => { General => { '-InterPolateVars' => 1 } }
           };
         }

       Like all MooseX::ConfigFromFile -derived file loaders, this module is automatically supported by the
       MooseX::Getopt role as well, which allows specifying "-configfile" on the command line.

ATTRIBUTES

   configfile
       Provided by the base role MooseX::ConfigFromFile.  You can provide a default configuration file pathname
       like so:

         has '+configfile' => ( default => '/etc/myapp.yaml' );

       You can pass an array of filenames if you want, but as usual the array has to be wrapped in a sub ref.

         has '+configfile' => ( default => sub { [ '/etc/myapp.yaml', '/etc/myapp_local.yml' ] } );

       Config files are trivially merged at the top level, with the right-hand files taking precedence.

CLASS METHODS

   new_with_config
       Provided by the base role MooseX::ConfigFromFile.  Acts just like regular "new()", but also accepts an
       argument "configfile" to specify the file from which to load other attributes.  Explicit arguments to
       "new_with_config" will override anything loaded from the file.

   get_config_from_file
       Called internally by either "new_with_config" or MooseX::Getopt's "new_with_options".  Invokes
       Config::Any to parse "configfile".
