Interpolators

An “interpolator” is a class which knows how to get values from a particular source by interpreting the internal portion of a dynamic config value and replacing it with a value.

Default included interpolators include:

• ENV (environment variables)

• FILE (file data)

You can use all registered interpolators when loading the configuration

namespace:
  env: <% ENV[ENV, production] %>
  log_level: DEBUG
  ssl_cert: FILE[ssl_cert.crt]

  theoretical_http_loaded_value: <% HTTP[localhost:5000/variable, 3] %>

The point is that all pieces of individual configuration can be defined centrally and declaratively, while interpolators actually go obtain that config value associate with the given input.

Configly allows the dynamic addition of new interpolator through the use of the register_interpolator() function.
