💖 dnsjit.lib.parseconf — Parse simple config files 💖

okay so bestie, this is dnsjit.lib.parseconf(3), a page from the Library Functions Manual, and it's literally the cutest little config parser you've ever met. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

dnsjit.lib.parseconf — Parse simple config files 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

  local conf = require("dnsjit.lib.parseconf").new()

  conf:func("config_name", function(k,...)
      print(k,...)
  end)

  conf:file(file)

  print(conf:val("another_config_name"))

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module parses simple config files, and they're based on the config syntax of DSC, drool and the parseconf helper library. iykyk 💅

The rules, bestie, are honestly so simple:

• Every config begins with a name, then comes the options, and then it ends with a ;. that's the whole vibe.
• You can put multiple configs on the same line if you want. go off. 🔥
• The valid option types are: number, float, string, and quoted string. that's it, that's the list.
• Wanna add a comment? just prefix it with # and the parser will simply not perceive it. main character energy only. ✨

🍓 Example

  # Comment
  number 12345;
  float 123.456;
  string string string;
  quoted_string "string string string";
  multi config; on one line;

look at that. gorgeous. flawless. ate and left no crumbs. 👑

💜 Functions

okay now the part you actually came for, the function lineup 🫶

• Parseconf.new() — makes you a brand new Parseconf object. a whole new bestie, freshly spawned. 💖
• Parseconf:log() — hands you back the Log object so you can control the logging of this instance or module. yes you get to be in charge of the logs. iconic.
• Parseconf:func(name, func) — sets up a function to call whenever that config name shows up. like a little "notify me when you see this" pact between you and the parser. 🎀
• Parseconf:file(fn) — parses the given file. feed it a whole file and let it cook. 🌈
• Parseconf:line(l) — parses the given line. just one line, one vibe, one moment. ⭐
• Parseconf:val(name) — gets you the value of a config name. the payoff. the reveal. the moment. 💅
