NAME

Beekeeper::Config - Read configuration files

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Beekeeper applications use two config files to define how clients, workers and brokers connect to each other.

These files are looked for in ENV BEEKEEPER_CONFIG_DIR, ~/.config/beekeeper and then /etc/beekeeper.

pool.config.json

This file defines all worker pools running in a given host, specifying which logical bus should be used and which services it will run.

The file format is relaxed JSON, which allows comments and trailing commas.

Each entry define a worker pool. Required parameters are:

pool_id: arbitrary identifier for the worker pool

bus_id: identifier of logical bus used by worker processes

workers: a map of worker classes to arbitrary config hashes

Example:

[
    {
        "pool_id"     : "myapp",
        "bus_id"      : "backend",
        "description" : "pool of MyApp workers",

        "workers" : {
            "MyApp::Service::Foo::Worker" : { "worker_count" : 4 },
            "MyApp::Service::Bar::Worker" : { "worker_count" : 2 },
        },
    },
]

bus.config.json

This file defines all logical buses used by an application, specifying the conection parameters to the MQTT brokers that will service them.

For development purposes it is handy to use a single broker to hold all logical buses and easily simulate a complex topology, but in production enviroments brokers should be isolated from each other.

The file format is relaxed JSON, which allows comments and trailing commas.

Each entry define a logical bus. Accepted parameters are:

bus_id: unique identifier of the logical bus (required)

bus_role: specifies if the bus is acting as frontend or backend

host: hostname or IP address of the broker

port: port of the broker (default is 1883)

tls: if set to true enables the use of TLS on broker connection

username: username used to connect to the broker

password: password used to connect to the broker

Example:

[
    {
        "bus_id"   : "backend",
        "host"     : "localhost",
        "username" : "backend",
        "password" : "def456",
    },
    {
        "bus_id"   : "frontend",
        "host"     : "localhost",
        "username" : "frontend",
        "password" : "def456",
    },
]

METHODS

get_bus_config( bus_id => $id )

Reads and parse bus.config.json and returns the config of the requested bus.

get_pool_config( bus_id => $id )

Reads and parse pool.config.json and returns the config of the requested pool.

read_config_file( $filename )

Reads the given file and returns its content parsed as JSON.
