       Mojolicious::Plugin::JSONConfig - JSON configuration plugin

SYNOPSIS

         # myapp.json (it's just JSON with embedded Perl)
         {
           "foo"       : "bar",
           "music_dir" : "<%= app->home->rel_dir('music') %>"
         }

         # Mojolicious
         my $config = $self->plugin('JSONConfig');
         say $config->{foo};

         # Mojolicious::Lite
         my $config = plugin 'JSONConfig';
         say $config->{foo};

         # foo.html.ep
         %= $config->{foo}

         # The configuration is available application wide
         my $config = app->config;
         say $config->{foo};

         # Everything can be customized with options
         my $config = plugin JSONConfig => {file => '/etc/myapp.conf'};

DESCRIPTION

       Mojolicious::Plugin::JSONConfig is a JSON configuration plugin that preprocesses its input
       with Mojo::Template.

       The application object can be accessed via $app or the "app" function. You can extend the
       normal config file "myapp.json" with "mode" specific ones like "myapp.$mode.json". A
       default configuration filename will be generated from the value of "moniker" in
       Mojolicious.

       The code of this plugin is a good example for learning to build new plugins, you're
       welcome to fork it.
