App.Conf

Beego supports to parse .ini file in path conf/app.conf, and you have following options:

appname = beepkg
httpaddr = "127.0.0.1"
httpport = 9090
runmode ="dev"
autorender = false
autorecover = false
viewspath = "myview"

If you set value in configuration file, Beego uses it to replace default value.

You can also have other values for your application, for example, database connection information:

mysqluser = "root"
mysqlpass = "rootpass"
mysqlurls = "127.0.0.1"
mysqldb   = "beego"

Then use following code to load your settings:

beego.AppConfig.String("mysqluser")
beego.AppConfig.String("mysqlpass")
beego.AppConfig.String("mysqlurls")
beego.AppConfig.String("mysqldb")

AppConfig supports following methods:

• Bool(key string) (bool, error)
• Int(key string) (int, error)
• Int64(key string) (int64, error)
• Float(key string) (float64, error)
• String(key string) string
