How to manage configurations using Viper in Go?
To manage configurations in Go using Viper, follow these steps:
- First, use the following command to install the Viper library:
- Retrieve the source code from github.com/spf13/viper.
- Import the Viper library in the code.
- bring in the “github.com/spf13/viper” package
- Initialize Viper in the code and specify the path and name of the configuration file.
- Initialize the configuration by setting the name, type, path, and reading the configuration file using Viper. If an error occurs, log the failure message.
- Retrieve the values of configuration items in code using Viper.
- Retrieve the value of a specified configuration key using the function getConfigValue, which returns a string.
- Define the corresponding configuration items in the configuration file.
- server:
port: 8080
host: localhost - Use Viper to retrieve values from configurations in the code.
- func main() {
setUpConfiguration()
port := getConfigurationValue(“server.port”)
host := getConfigurationValue(“server.host”)
fmt.Printf(“Server is running on %s:%s\n”, host, port)
}
By following the above steps, you can easily manage configurations in Go using Viper.
