Singleton for reading the configuration file required for your program.

## What can do

- Reading multiple configuration files
- Separation of parameters by sections
- Access to parameters and sections using keys and indexes
- Commenting on lines

You will get more detailed information on the [wiki](https://git.zhirov.kz/dlang/readconf/wiki).

## Quick start

The `settings.conf` file (see the [tests](tests/)):

![matches.png](img/matches.png)

Read `settings.conf` file:

```d
import readconf;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    rc.read("./tests/settings.conf");

    foreach (key, param; rc.cf.sn.keys())
        writefln("%s => %s", key, param);

    writeln(rc.cf.sn.key("value1"));

    foreach (key, param; rc.cf.sn("part2").keys())
        writefln("%s => %s", key, param);

    writeln(rc[]["part2"]["value1"]);
}
```

Result:

```
value1 => text without quotes
value2 => Yes!
value3 => value in apostrophes
value4 => 1000
value5 => 0.000
value6 =>
value7 => //path
value8 => "Hey!"
text without quotes
value1 => this value will be in the new section
value3 => good value!
this value will be in the new section
```

## Unittests

The unittests provide [examples](examples/) of configuration files and the `settings.conf` file located in the [tests](tests/):

```sh
Running bin/readconf-test-unittest 
 ✓ test __unittest_L111_C1
 ✓ test __unittest_L26_C1
 ✓ test __unittest_L52_C1
 ✓ test __unittest_L4_C1

Summary: 4 passed, 0 failed in 7 ms
```
