Allow function to select by environment
Fix I18n example
Update depedency versions
This is Rails bindings for the Dhall configuration language. Dhall is a powerful, but safe and non-Turing-complete configuration language. For more information, see: https://dhall-lang.org
This project follows semantic versioning. For the purposes of considering what is a "breaking change" only the API as documented in this README is considered, regardless of any other exposed parts of the library. Anything not documented here may change at any time, but backward-incompatible changes to anything documented here will be accompanied by a major-version increment.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "dhall-rails"
And then execute:
bundle
Or install it yourself as:
gem install dhall-rails
To fully enable this gem in your Rails application, add the following line to your class Application
in config/application.rb
:
include Dhall::Rails::Application
Once you have done this, you must change your config/database.yml
for a config/database.dhall
. Other configuration can remain in YAML and be converted as desired.
Any YAML file in config/
should be able to be converted to Dhall. Any case where this is not true is considered a bug.
Files such as config/credentials.dhall.enc
will work with Rails' encrypted configuration system, including:
Rails.application.credentials
bin/rails credentials:edit
Rails.application.encrypted(Rails.root.join("config/thing.dhall.enc"))
If you have your own custom configuration files for your application that you wish to maintain in Dhall, you can load them using the normal config_for
facility:
Rails.application.config_for("something") # loads config/something.dhall at the key for current Rails.env
If you are still using the YAML-based simple translation framework for Rails, you may use Dhall files here as well. This allows using real functions and string interpolations in your translation files, like so:
{
en = {
ducks = \(translation_name: < ducks >) -> \(args: { count: Natural }) ->
"${Natural/show args.count} ducks"
}
}
Which can be invoked via:
I18n.t(:ducks, count: 5)
Integrity-protected Dhall imports will have their normalized contents cached using the normal Rails.cache
mechanism.
All Dhall files handled by dhall-rails
can access any field on the Rails
constant like so:
env:"Rails.env"
env:"Rails.root"
To serialize your columns using Dhall instead of YAML, you may do this:
serialize :column, Dhall::Coder
If you need to serialize more complex objects, you may whitelist classes like so:
serialize :column, Dhall::Coder.new(safe: [NilClass, String, MyClass])
If you wish to manually load a Dhall expression from some source, using the ability to read from properties of Rails
, the caching, and other features provided by this library, you may like so:
Dhall::Rails.load("1 + 1") # => #<Dhall::Natural value=2>
If you have any questions about this library, or wish to report a bug, please send email to: dev@singpolyma.net
Tests can be run with:
make test
If you have code or patches you wish to contribute, the maintainer's preferred mechanism is a git pull request. Push your changes to a git repository somewhere, for example:
git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~yourname/dhall-rails
git push -u origin master
Then generate the pull request:
git fetch upstream master
git request-pull -p upstream/master origin
And copy-paste the result into a plain-text email to: dev@singpolyma.net
You may alternately use a patch-based approach as described on https://git-send-email.io
Contributions follow an inbound=outbound model -- you (or your employer) keep all copyright on your patches, but agree to license them according to this project's COPYING file.
