The Ruby/ERB way to do this?

P

Peter Booth

Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me to a smarter way of doing
the following? It's probably a Ruby basics question.

I am using ERB to generate sets of configuration files for different
environments. I imagined that I would use a different config file per
environment, that sets variables, and apply this against a list of
configuration file templates.

Currently each environment file defines a module "X" that has constants for
each variable:
module X
MgrPort = '3000'
MsgPort2s = '4000'

The template files reference the variables like so
domain = <%= X::Domain %>

The script that calls erb.result() uses require/include to reference the
config file

require "Configs/stagingProperties"
include X


There must be a better way to do this. Is there a "Right Way" here? I've
perused the erb docs and the Pickaxe book but neither explicitly join the
dots.
