Package appcfg helps implement Clean Architecture adapter for application configuration. Application configuration values may come from different sources (defaults, flags, env, config files, services like consul, etc.). These sources are external for your application and use their own data formats. Same value may comes from several sources in some priority order, in some cases some sources may not be available (like flags in tests, but tests still may needs access to configuration values), etc. At same time some configuration value (like "port" or "timeout") has same format and constraints in your application no matter from which source it comes. Because of all that complexity it makes sense to handle configuration in same way as any other external data and implement adapter (in terms of Clean Architecture) which will convert configuration received from external sources into data structure convenient for your application. For this we'll need to define two data structures (first suitable for receiving values from external sources, second suitable for your application) and a conversion logic to create second using values from first one. First data structure should be able to apply same constraints to some value no matter from which source it comes from. Luckily, we already have suitable interface for this task: flag.Value and the likes. Using compatible interface is a requirement to be able to attach flags to these values, but as same time this interface allows us to accept values as plain strings, which makes it general enough for any sources. This package provides both a lot of types of Value interface (just like flag and other similar packages like pflag) to be used in first structure, and also some functions to help loading data from different sources (like environment variables) into such Value typed values. Provided Value interface has more strict semantics than flag.Value, to be able to distinguish between zero and unset values - as it is important to know is required configuration value was provided or not. See example to see how to use this package, and also check https://github.com/powerman/appcfg/tree/master/examples to see how to test such configuration.
