Config::From - Load configuration from file to variables via traits

JSON config file my-config.json:

{
    "user"  : "zoffix",
    "pass"  : "s3cret",
    "groups": [ "foo", "bar", "ber" ]
}

Program that uses it:

use Config::From 'my-config.json'; # config file defaults to 'config.json'

# automatically load variables from config
my $user   is from-config;
my $pass   is from-config;
my @groups is from-config;

say "$user\'s password is $pass and they belong to @groups[]";
# Prints: zoffix's password is s3cret and they belong to foo, bar, ber

This module lets you load a configuration file (in JSON format) and assign values from it to variables using traits.

my $user         is from-config;
my @groups       is from-config;
my %replacements is from-config;

Tells the variable to get its values from the config file. The name of the variable will be used as the name of the key in the top-level object of the JSON config file.

The @ and % sigils on variables will coerce the JSON value into array or hash, respectively.

Current implementation does not allow use of more than one configuration file per application and only lets you access values in a top-level object.

This may change in the future, if there's demand for such features.
