### Getting Values
|
||||
|
||||
In Viper there are a few ways to get a value depending on what type of value you want to retrieved.
|
||||
The following functions and methods exist:
|
||||
|
||||
* Get(key string) : interface{}
|
||||
* GetBool(key string) : bool
|
||||
* GetFloat64(key string) : float64
|
||||
* GetInt(key string) : int
|
||||
* GetString(key string) : string
|
||||
* GetStringMap(key string) : map[string]interface{}
|
||||
* GetStringMapString(key string) : map[string]string
|
||||
* GetStringSlice(key string) : []string
|
||||
* GetTime(key string) : time.Time
|
||||
* IsSet(key string) : bool
|
||||
|
||||
One important thing to recognize is that each Get function will return
|
||||
it’s zero value if it’s not found. To check if it’s found, the IsSet()
|
||||
method has been provided.
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
viper.GetString("logfile") // case insensitive Setting & Getting
|
||||
if viper.GetBool("verbose") {
|
||||
fmt.Println("verbose enabled")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
### Marshaling
|
||||
|
||||
You also have the option of Marshaling all or a specific value to a struct, map, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two methods to do this:
|
||||
|
||||
* Marshal(rawVal interface{}) : error
|
||||
* MarshalKey(key string, rawVal interface{}) : error
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
type config struct {
|
||||
Port int
|
||||
Name string
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
var C config
|
||||
|
||||
err := Marshal(&C)
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
t.Fatalf("unable to decode into struct, %v", err)
|
||||
}

||||

### Working with Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
Viper has full support for environment variables. This enables 12 factor
|
||||
applications out of the box. There are two methods that exist to aid
|
||||
applications out of the box. There are three methods that exist to aid
|
||||
with working with ENV:
|
||||
|
||||
* AutomaticEnv()
|
||||
* BindEnv(input ) : error
|
||||
* BindEnv(string...) : error
|
||||
* SetEnvPrefix(string)
|
||||
|
||||
When working with ENV variables it’s important to recognize that Viper
|
||||
treats ENV variables as case sensitive.

_When working with ENV variables it’s important to recognize that Viper

||||
treats ENV variables as case sensitive._
|
||||
|
||||
Viper provides a mechanism to try to ensure that ENV variables are
|
||||
unique. By using SetEnvPrefix you can tell Viper to use add a prefix
|
||||
while reading from the environment variables. Both BindEnv and
|
||||
AutomaticEnv will use this prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
BindEnv takes one or two parameters. The first parameter is the key
|
||||
name, the second is the name of the environment variable. The name of
|
||||
the environment variable is case sensitive.
|
||||
|
||||
If the ENV variable name is not provided then Viper will automatically
|
||||
assume that the key name matches the ENV variable name but the ENV
|
||||
variable is IN ALL CAPS.

||||
the environment variable is case sensitive. If the ENV variable name is
|
||||
not provided then Viper will automatically assume that the key name
|
||||
matches the ENV variable name but the ENV variable is IN ALL CAPS. When
|
||||
you explicitly provide the env variable name it **Does not**
|
||||
automatically add the prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
One important thing to recognize when working with ENV variables is that
|
||||
the value will be read each time it is accessed. It does not fix the
|
||||
value when the BindEnv is called.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
AutomaticEnv is intended to be a convenience helper. It will look for all
|
||||
keys that have been set (via defaults, config file, flag, or remote key
|
||||
value) and call BindEnv on that key. It does
|
||||
not simply import all ENV variables. Because of this behavior it’s
|
||||
usually best to call it last.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Env example
|
||||
|
||||
SetEnvPrefix("spf") // will be uppercased automatically
|
||||
BindEnv("id")
|
||||
|
||||
os.Setenv("SPF_ID", "13") // typically done outside of the app
|
||||
|
||||
id := Get("id")) // 13

## Getting Values From Viper
|
||||
|

In Viper there are a few ways to get a value depending on what type of value you want to retrieved.
|
||||
The following functions and methods exist:
|
||||
|
||||
* Get(key string) : interface{}
|

* GetBool(key string) : bool

* GetString(key string) : string
|
||||
* GetStringMap(key string) : map[string]interface{}
|
||||
* GetStringMapString(key string) : map[string]string
|
||||
* GetStringSlice(key string) : []string
|
||||
* GetTime(key string) : time.Time
|
||||
* IsSet(key string) : bool
|
||||
|
||||
One important thing to recognize is that each Get function will return
|

it’s zero value if it’s not found. To check if a given key exists, the IsSet()

||||
method has been provided.

Example:

viper.GetString("logfile") // case insensitive Setting & Getting
