econfig - simple Erlang config handler using INI files

Version: 0.5.0

econfig

econfig is a simple Erlang config handler to manage a config from INI files.

econfig can be use to read and update INI files. Values are cached in an ETS table and you can manage multiple configuration profiles. A process can also subscribe to config updates events.

Autoreload of the config when an INI file is updated is supported, you can even manage changes from a full config directory.

See the NEWS for last changes.

Useful modules are:

econfig: main module. It contains all the API.

3> econfig:subscribe(test).

4> econfig:get_value(test, "section1").
[{"key 3","value 3"},

 {"key2","value 2"},
 {"key4","value 4"},
 {"key5","value5"}]
5> econfig:set_value(test, "section1", "key6", "value6").
