python-rconfig 20.1.1

Helps get configuration from consul server

rconfig helps you get configs of your application from a Consul server.

Installation

Install the latest version with:

pip install -U python-rconfig

For command-line support, use the CLI option during installation:

pip install -U "python-rconfig[cli]"

Usage

First off all rconfig expects that you have the following key structure on the consul server:

<root-key>
    |____<common-config-key>
    |          |
    |          |___<some-env-key>
    |          |           |_____<key-value>
    |          |           |_____<key-value>
    |          |
    |          |___<another-env-key>
    |                      |_____<key-value>
    |                      |_____<key-value>
    |____<app-config-key>
               |
               |___<some-env-key>
               |           |_____<key-value>
               |           |_____<key-value>
               |
               |___<another-env-key>
                           |_____<key-value>
                           |_____<key-value>

Here root key stands for the name of the project when some have multiple applications that grouped under some kind of common purpose (often when talk about microservices). Under common configuration key, you should store configurations that common to all your applications in the project, in this case, it’s much easier to change the config in one place than go to multiple.
