Config
A Ruby gem for managing multi-environment YAML settings in Rails, Sinatra, Padrino, and other Ruby projects.
What is Config?
Config is a Ruby gem that simplifies configuration management for Ruby applications. It provides a structured way to handle environment-specific settings using YAML files, making it easy to organize and access configuration data across different deployment environments like development, test, and production.
Ruby developers building applications with Rails, Padrino, or Sinatra frameworks who need a robust, environment-aware configuration system. It's particularly useful for teams managing multiple deployment environments and requiring local developer settings that don't conflict with version control.
Developers choose Config for its clean, intuitive object notation (e.g., Settings.group.setting), built-in support for environment inheritance and ERB templating, and flexibility to add or reload configuration sources at runtime. It emphasizes convention over configuration while supporting complex needs like validation with dry-schema and environment variable integration.
