yamlcfg #
A type-safe configuration file parser with support for YAML notation.
Features #

Lightweight and fast
Type-safe
Fallback handlers
Readable and few exceptions
Versatile input formats

Getting started #
Add yamlcfg to your project with the command dart pub add yamlcfg.
Usage #
To use yamlcfg, simply create a new YamlCfg. The constructor takes a YamlMap, but a file can be provided via
the YamlCfg.fromFile factory, or a string can be provided via the YamlCfg.fromString factory.
From there, the usage is quite simple. To retrieve the value of a field, use the get method, providing a type to check
against. For example:

final yamlCfg = YamlCfg.fromFile('pubspec.yaml');
final name = yamlCfg.get<String>('name');

If the specified field does not exist, a MissingFieldException is thrown. If the field does exist,
but the field is not of the specified type, a TypeMismatchException is thrown. An onFallback handler can be given
to return a fallback value and avoid a MissingFieldException. For example:

final yamlCfg = YamlCfg.fromFile('pubspec.yaml');
final name = yamlCfg.get<String>('does-not-exist', () => 'backup-name');
copied to clipboard
To dig deeper in the YAML tree, use get but specify the type as YamlCfg. Alternatively, use the wrapper
method into to accomplish the same thing. For example:

final yamlCfg = YamlCfg.fromFile('pubspec.yaml');
final testViaGet = yamlCfg.get<YamlCfg>('dev_dependencies').get<String>('test');

// or...

final testViaInto = yamlCfg.into('dev_dependencies').get<String>('test');
