My task is to read the JSON file on the Application run and store it in the config. I have gone through https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/master/Config.Provider.html
Now my config provider code is
defmodule JSONConfigProvider do
@behaviour Config.Provider
# Let's pass the path to the JSON file as config
def init(path) when is_binary(path), do: path
def load(config, path) do
# We need to start any app we may depend on.
{:ok, _} = Application.ensure_all_started(:jason)
json = path |> File.read!() |> Jason.decode!()
json
end
end
When I try to run this through iex everything looks fine
JSONConfigProvider.load([existing: :config, app: [:appname]],"file_path")
and the next step is Then when specifying your release, you can specify the provider in the release configuration
I don't have the mix release. Is there any way to store this in the config(dev.ex)?
