goth v1.2.0 Goth.Config behaviour

Goth.Config is a GenServer that holds the current configuration. This configuration is loaded from one of four places:

  1. a JSON string passed in via your application's config
  2. a ENV variable passed in via your application's config
  3. The Application Default Credentials, as defined by https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/application-default-credentials
  4. an init/1 callback on a custom config module. This init function is passed the current config and must return an {:ok, config} tuple

The Goth.Config server exists mostly for other parts of your application (or other libraries) to pull the current configuration state, via Goth.Config.get/1. If necessary, you can also set config values via Goth.Config.set/2

child_spec(init_arg)

Returns a specification to start this module under a supervisor.

See Supervisor.

get(key)
get(String.t() | atom()) :: {:ok, any()} | :error

Retrieve a value from the config.

Link to this function

get(account, key)
get(String.t() | atom(), String.t() | atom()) :: {:ok, any()} | :error

Invoked when the server is started. start_link/3 or start/3 will block until it returns.

init_arg is the argument term (second argument) passed to start_link/3.

Returning {:ok, state} will cause start_link/3 to return {:ok, pid} and the process to enter its loop.

Returning {:ok, state, timeout} is similar to {:ok, state} except handle_info(:timeout, state) will be called after timeout milliseconds if no messages are received within the timeout.

Returning {:ok, state, :hibernate} is similar to {:ok, state} except the process is hibernated before entering the loop. See c:handle_call/3 for more information on hibernation.

Returning {:ok, state, {:continue, continue}} is similar to {:ok, state} except that immediately after entering the loop the c:handle_continue/2 callback will be invoked with the value continue as first argument.

Returning :ignore will cause start_link/3 to return :ignore and the process will exit normally without entering the loop or calling c:terminate/2. If used when part of a supervision tree the parent supervisor will not fail to start nor immediately try to restart the GenServer. The remainder of the supervision tree will be started and so the GenServer should not be required by other processes. It can be started later with Supervisor.restart_child/2 as the child specification is saved in the parent supervisor. The main use cases for this are:

  • The GenServer is disabled by configuration but might be enabled later.
  • An error occurred and it will be handled by a different mechanism than the Supervisor. Likely this approach involves calling Supervisor.restart_child/2 after a delay to attempt a restart.

Returning {:stop, reason} will cause start_link/3 to return {:error, reason} and the process to exit with reason reason without entering the loop or calling c:terminate/2.

Link to this callback

init(config) (optional)
init(config :: Keyword.t()) :: {:ok, Keyword.t()}

A callback executed when the Goth.Config server starts.

The sole argument is the :goth configuration as stored in the application environment. It must return {:ok, keyword} with the updated list of configuration.

To have your module's init/1 callback called at startup, add your module as the :config_module in the application environment:

config :goth, config_module: MyConfig
