Format of values

In properties based configuration file every property was defined as a string and only by defining expected format it was properly converted to expected value. In DSL it is possible to set values in two ways:

as an object
Using this format you set list as a list and integer is set as an integer.
Type Description

string

Wrap it in '', ie. to set test as string you use 'test'

integer

Just put value, ie. to set 543 use 543

long

Put value and follow it with L, ie. to set 23645434 as long use 23645434L

float

Put value and follow it with f, ie. to set 231.342 use 231.342f

boolean

To set value just use true or false

list

Lists can be of many types and to make it simple we decided to use as a comma separated list of values in proper format wrapped in [].

  • of strings - [ 'alfa', 'beta', 'gamma' ]
  • of integers - [ 1, 2, 3, 4]

You can write it in multiple lines if you want:

[
    'alfa'
    'beta'
    'gamma'
]

map

Maps can be written as a block of properties wrapped in {}. This format of map is the same as used for passing configuration to bean properties. Keys and values can be written in separate lines (recommended): 

{
    test = true
    ssl = false
    ssl-certificate = '/test/cert.pem'
    another-map = {
        key = 'value'
    }
}

or in single line (separation with spaces is not required): 

{ test = true, ssl = false, ssl-certificate = '/test/cert.pem' }
as a plain string
Very similar to properties based configuration, in fact values are passed in same format and later are converted to correct type by checking type expected by bean. (Not recommended)
Type Description

string

Just put value, ie. to set test use test

integer

Just put value, ie. to set 543 use 543

long

Put value, ie. to set 23645434 as long use 23645434

float

Put value, ie. to set 231.342 use 231.342

boolean

To set value just use true or false

list

List needs to be written as comma separated list of values, ie. test,abc,efg or 1,2,3

map

Not possible
