dynamic-config 0.1.0

//! Finding configuration files instead of being told where they are.
//!
//! A hardcoded `files = ["config.toml"]` resolves against the working
//! directory, which is fine for a repository checkout and wrong for everything
//! else: a package puts its configuration in `/etc`, a user overrides it in
//! `~/.config`, and a developer overrides *that* in the current directory.
//!
//! ```text
//! name  = "config"
//! paths = ["/etc/myapp", "~/.config/myapp", "."]
//!         →  /etc/myapp/config.toml
//!            ~/.config/myapp/config.json
//!            ./config.yaml
//! ```
//!
//! Every directory that has a match contributes one, merged in the order the
//! paths are listed — so the layering is the search order, and the last
//! directory wins. This is where it differs from Go's Viper, which stops at the
//! first hit: the whole reason to list `/etc` *and* `~` is to layer them.
//!
//! Within one directory the extensions are tried in a fixed order and the first
//! hit is taken, so a stray `config.json` next to a `config.toml` is resolved
//! the same way every run rather than by directory-listing order.
