Properties

Arkenv supports the properties file format.

Install the PropertyFeature and specify the file to load from.

class Ark : Arkenv(configuration = {
    +PropertyFeature("application")
}) { 
    val mysqlPassword: String by argument()
}

Arkenv will look for the file in the resources.

Like with environment variables, Arkenv will look for the snake-case version of any double-hyphen names.

An example properties file application.properties could have the following content:

mysql_password = JKE9ehnEA

If you want to use profiles like in Spring Boot, see Profiles.

By default, Arkenv will look for profiles in the following relative locations on both the classpath and the file system:

You can add additional locations by using the location argument, which accepts a comma-separated list of directory locations or file paths.
