# joy-config 🎮

A simple, flexible Python configuration loader that automatically detects and loads project configuration files.

## ✨ Features

- **🔄 Multiple Format Support**: Compatible with YAML, JSON, INI, ENV, and other configuration file formats
- **🔍 Auto Detection**: Automatically finds and loads configuration files in your project without requiring explicit paths
- **🌍 Environment Awareness**: Loads environment-specific configuration files based on environment variables
- **🔗 Config Merging**: Intelligently merges base configurations with environment-specific overrides
- **🔑 Flexible Access**: Access configuration values via attributes or dictionary-style lookups
- **📊 Nested Configuration**: Full support for nested configuration structures

## 📦 Installation

```bash
pip install joy-config
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Auto-loading Configuration

```python
from joy_config.loader import auto_loader

# Automatically detect and load configuration files in your project
config = auto_loader()

# Access configuration items
db_host = config.database.host
# or
db_host = config['database.host']
# or with default value
db_host = config.get('database.host', 'localhost')
```

### Specifying Configuration Files

```python
from joy_config.loader import auto_loader

# Specify a configuration file path
config = auto_loader('config/app_config.yaml')

# Specify an environment
config = auto_loader(env='production')
```

## 📄 Supported Configuration Formats

### YAML 📝

```yaml
database:
  host: localhost
  port: 5432
  username: admin
  password: secret

app:
  debug: false
  log_level: info
```

### JSON 📝

```json
{
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432,
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "secret"
  },
  "app": {
    "debug": false,
    "log_level": "info"
  }
}
```

### INI 📝

```ini
[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432
username = admin
password = secret

[app]
debug = false
log_level = info
```

### Environment Variables (.env) 📝

```env
DATABASE_HOST=localhost 
DATABASE_PORT=5432 
DATABASE_USERNAME=admin 
DATABASE_PASSWORD=secret 
APP_DEBUG=false 
APP_LOG_LEVEL=info
```

## 🌐 Environment-Specific Configuration

joy-config supports loading different configuration files based on the current environment:

1. 🔍 Automatically detects the current environment from environment variables (ENV, ENVIRONMENT, or PROFILE)
2. 📁 Looks for environment-specific configuration files like `config-dev.yaml`, `application-prod.json`, etc.
3. 🔄 Intelligently merges base configuration with environment-specific overrides

Example:

```python
# With environment variable ENV=dev
config = auto_loader()  # Will automatically load both config.yaml and config-dev.yaml
```

## 🔧 Advanced Usage

### Configuration Merging 🔄

```python
# Base config (config.yaml)
# database:
#   host: localhost
#   port: 5432
#   username: admin

# Environment config (config-prod.yaml)
# database:
#   host: db.example.com
#   password: prod-secret

# Merged configuration
# config.database.host == "db.example.com"
# config.database.port == 5432
# config.database.username == "admin"
# config.database.password == "prod-secret"
```

### Converting to Dictionary 🔄

```python
# Convert the configuration object to a dictionary
config_dict = config.as_dict()
```
