Module documentation for 0.1.4

• System
  • System.Config
    • System.Config.File

The module exported provides the ability to manage a configuration file inthe users home directory (or the Windows equivalent). Where the configurationtakes the form of key=value, without sections, that for example an '.ini'would have.

The library simplifies serilization/deserialization of the configuration intoa structure similar in behavior to aMap, as well as an interactive way tofill in values for simple cases.

Consider the following example, where a user would run the application for thefirst time, it would ask him for his name; however on a followup run it wouldjust print a greeting with his name.

import System.Config.Filemain = loadLocal ".apprc" >>= \conf -> do    let name = getV conf "name"    case name of Just n  -> putStrLn $ "hello " ++ n                 Nothing -> do conf' <- fillInteractively conf [("name", acceptNonBlank)]                               saveConfiguration conf'
