NAME

Rex::Config - Handles the configuration.

DESCRIPTION

This module holds all configuration parameters for Rex.

With this module you can specify own configuration parameters for your modules.

EXPORTED METHODS

register_set_handler($handler_name, $code)

Register a handler that gets called by set. 

 Rex::Config->register_set_handler("foo", sub {
   my ($value) = @_;
   print "The user set foo -> $value\n";
 });

And now you can use this handler in your Rexfile like this:

 set foo => "bar";

register_config_handler($topic, $code)

With this function it is possible to register own sections in the users config file ($HOME/.rex/config.yml).

Example:

 Rex::Config->register_config_handler("foo", sub {
  my ($param) = @_;
  print "bar is: " . $param->{bar} . "\n";
 });

And now the user can set this in his configuration file:

 base:
   user: theuser
   password: thepassw0rd
 foo:
   bar: baz
