bsless/aero.extensions

Aero is awesome

Still, it lacks about three features which would make it shine: Another profile dimension, secrets, and secret readers

Usage

Use aero normally and also load this extension library

(require '[aero.core :as aero] '[bsless.aero.extensions])

Works exactly like profile, for when you need it

Wraps the content in an opaque deref-able object. This way printing the loaded configuration won't leak a secret

Having secrets in a config file is convenient, but how can we get them there?

#ext/read-secret "path/to/secret"
;; or
#ext/read-secret [:just/whatever "path/to/secret"]

Pass a :secret-reader to aero.core/read-config and let it resolve the secret according to the specified value at resolution time.

Example - vault client, reader for encryped files

When some value in your configuration has to conform to a schema

#malli/schema [:int 1] ;; pass
#malli/schema [:int "1"] ;; fail
#malli/schema [[:int {:min 2}] 1] ;; fail

Use a vector of [schema value].

Optionally pass a :malli/transformer when reading the configuration to coerce values. The second example would pass with

(read-config "config.edn" {:malli/transformer mt/string-transformer})

Important note: malli isn't included on the class path. Bring it in as an extra dependency.

Given the config

#ext/mode {:fizz #ext/read-secret #profile {:bar "foo/bar" :baz "foo/baz"}
           :buzz #profile {:bar 1 :baz 2}}

It will resolve to:

(read-config config {:profile :bar :mode :fizz :secret-reader {"foo/bar" :foo}})
;; =>
(Secret. :foo)

Keep in mind the secret will print as <Secret ...>
