Struct manaconf::sources::EnvVarSource

pub struct EnvVarSource { /* fields omitted */ }

A config value source that fetches values from environment variables

The source can be supplied with a prefix for environment variables by using with_prefix.

Environment variable names, are thus then constructed as PREFIX_COMPONENT_COMPONENT_COMPONENT

If there is no prefix then it's just COMPONENT_COMPONENT_COMPONENT

i.e. If the source has a prefix of MYCONFIG and you requested a value with the key database::connection_string. The environment variable that is looked up would be MYCONFIG_DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING

It is worth noting, however, that this scheme may cause conflicts as the key database::connection_string and database::connection::string would result in the same environment variable DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING.
