org.ekrich.config.ConfigIncluder

Implement this interface and provide an instance to ConfigParseOptions.setIncluder() to customize handling of include statements in config files. You may also want to implement ConfigIncluderClasspath, ConfigIncluderFile, and ConfigIncluderURL, or not.

def include(context: ConfigIncludeContext, what: String): ConfigObject

Parses another item to be included. The returned object typically would not have substitutions resolved. You can throw a ConfigException here to abort parsing, or return an empty object, but may not return null.

Parses another item to be included. The returned object typically would not have substitutions resolved. You can throw a ConfigException here to abort parsing, or return an empty object, but may not return null.

This method is used for a "heuristic" include statement that does not specify file, URL, or classpath resource. If the include statement does specify, then the same class implementing ConfigIncluder must also implement ConfigIncluderClasspath, ConfigIncluderFile, or ConfigIncluderURL as needed, or a default includer will be used.

Value parameters

context

some info about the include context

what

the include statement's argument

Attributes

Returns

a non-null ConfigObject

Returns a new includer that falls back to the given includer. This is how you can obtain the default includer; it will be provided as a fallback. It's up to your includer to chain to it if you want to. You might want to merge any files found by the fallback includer with any objects you load yourself.

It's important to handle the case where you already have the fallback with a "return this", i.e. this method should not create a new object if the fallback is the same one you already have. The same fallback may be added repeatedly.

Value parameters

fallback

the previous includer for chaining
