Simple Config System

A lightweight C++ 20 configuration system for managing settings.

Usage

1. Include the Files: Add config.hpp and config.cpp to your project.

2. Set Default Values: In config.cpp, initialize default values for your settings using the config::init() function.

   void config::init() {
       // Add default values here
       config::set<bool>("test_bool", false);
       config::set<float>("test_float", 1.f);
   }

3. Access Settings: Use config::get<type>(const char*) to retrieve the value of a setting and config::set<type>(const char*, type value) to modify it.

   // Example: Getting the value of a setting
   bool boolValue = *config::get<bool>("test_bool");
   float floatValue = *config::get<float>("test_float");

4. Save and Load Configurations: Use config::save(std::string) and config::load(std::string) to save and load configurations respectively.

   // Example: Saving and loading configs
   config::save("config_name.cfg");
   config::load("config_name.cfg");

Example

#include <iostream>
#include "config.hpp"

int main() {
    // Initialize the configuration system
    config::init();

    // Get the path to the config folder
    std::cout << "Config Folder Path: " << config::get_config_folder() << std::endl;

    // List all config files in the config folder
    std::cout << "Config Files:" << std::endl;
    for (const auto& config_name : config::config_names)
        std::cout << "- " << config_name << std::endl;

    // Example: Accessing setting values
    std::cout << "Test Bool Value: " << (*config::get<bool>("test_bool") ? "true" : "false") << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Test Float Value: " << *config::get<float>("test_float") << std::endl;

    return 0;
