config's Issues

Please clarify copyright

I'd like to package revel/config for Debian, however the copyright is not clear.

The readme states that the source files are distributed under the Mozilla Public License, while every source file claim to have an Apache license. The subdirectory Doc contains the Apache license. Is it an error in the Readme? Thanks.

LoadContext method needs an attention

While reviewing PR #3, I noticed.

It seems LoadContext loads only first confPath from confPaths and returns the config.

Expected: Load all the confPaths supplied to the method.

Cannot read environment variables

To reproduce:

1. Set an environment variable export ABC=test
2. Insert the following to the app.conf my.abc = ${ABC}
3. Read the config and print out the value fmt.Println(revel.Config.StringDefault("my.abc", ""))

Expected output:
test

Actual output:

Go version: go version go1.11 darwin/amd64
Revel version:

Revel Version = "0.20.0"
Revel BuildDate = "2018-09-23"
Revel MinimumGoVersion = ">= go1.8"

Default value for ENV vars

Eg. allow ${FOOBAR:barfoo}

${FOOBAR:barfoo} -> if env FOOBAR is not set, use barfoo as value
${FOOBAR::barfoo} -> if env FOOBAR is not set or set and empty, use barfoo as value

Feature: Read a config from a string

The project exposes a method to read a config from a file, but not from a string.

Reading a config from a string would be useful in case the configuration file is an embedded asset within the application such as is possible with go-bindata.

This would allow us to implement a useful feature in Revel.

The implementation may be as simple as exposing the read() method from read.go.

Tags v14 to v18 point to the same commit.

In this way, I can't lock down v17 in my Gopkg.toml file.

You cannot have multi-lines without defining a section

If you have not section in your config file defined (you assume everything should be in DEFAULT)
then multi-line support will not work.

The fix is to include the default section.

[DEFAULT]

multi.line=test
 ...
 this is multi
 line

Maybe this not a real issue more like a documentation thing. I stumbled over this when i started using https://revel.github.io/manual/i18n-messages.html
