Environmentalization example

Detailed example that illustrates different aspects of the environmentalization capability supported by the YAML configuration.

1 minute read

This example illustrates the following aspects of the environmentalization:

  • Injection of integer, long, and string types.
  • Partial strings (URL field).
  • System environment variable with and without default value.
  • Encrypted passwords.
  • Conservation of other environmentalization methods.
  • An unresolved placeholder.

In the following example snippet, we assume that ES_DB_PASSWORD is set with a value encrypted by a passphrase, and ES_DB_HOST is not set.

# A YAML Entity

type: DbConnection
fields:
   name: MySQL
   maxIdle: '{{db.maxIdle}}'
   maxWait: '{{foo}}'
   url: jdbc:mysql://{{db.host}}:3306/DefaultDb
   password: '{{db.password}}'
   username: '{{db.username}}'
   maxActive: ${env.dbMaxActive}
   timezoneAware: ${environment.IS_TIMEZONE_AWARE}

# value.yaml
db:
  maxIdle: 1
  username: scott
  password: '{{env "ES_DB_PASSWORD"}}'
  host: '{{env "ES_DB_HOST" "staging.db.acme.com"}}'
