SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to creating and managing multi-file YAML configurations for Lokstra projects. It enables auto-merging of multiple YAML files, environment variable substitution, service definitions, and deployment configurations to simplify configuration management across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-file YAML merging in alphabetical order, with later files overriding earlier keys
  • Centralized service-definitions, deployments, and config sections for consistent runtime behavior
  • Environment variable substitution and config-overrides to securely manage secrets and environment-specific values
  • Clear project structure patterns and best practices for multi-environment setups

Quick Start

Create a base config.yaml describing app-wide defaults, place additional environment-specific files under config/, and define deployments with servers and published services. At runtime, select the deployment via LOKSTRA_DEPLOYMENT or --deployment and run your Lokstra application to apply the merged configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I merge multiple YAML config files for deployment?

YAML config merging consolidates multiple files in alphabetical order, where later files override earlier keys to produce a unified configuration. This streamlines configuration management across deployment environments.

What is the best way to inject environment-specific values into YAML configurations?

Environment-specific values are injected into YAML configurations through variable substitution and config-overrides. This securely manages secrets and environment-specific values without hardcoding them directly into the config files.

How do I define deployments and services in a multi-file YAML setup?

Defining deployments and services requires creating centralized service-definitions and deployment sections within your YAML files. Specify servers and published services to establish consistent runtime behavior across environments.

Can I use environment variables to override YAML config values at runtime?

Yes, you can override YAML config values at runtime by selecting a specific deployment via the LOKSTRA_DEPLOYMENT environment variable or the --deployment flag, which applies the merged configuration with substituted values.

How to structure a project for multi-environment YAML configuration management?

Structuring a multi-environment project involves creating a base config.yaml for app-wide defaults and placing additional environment-specific files under a config directory, following clear project structure patterns and best practices.
