1. Key=Value Configuration Parsing (+1)

1. Key=Value Configuration Parsing

Parse simple key=value configuration files:

#!/bin/bash
# ABOUTME: Parse key=value configuration files
# ABOUTME: Supports comments, empty lines, and quoted values

CONFIG_FILE="${1:-config.conf}"

# Declare associative array for config
declare -A CONFIG

# Parse configuration file
parse_config() {
    local file="$1"

    if [[ ! -f "$file" ]]; then
        echo "Error: Config file not found: $file" >&2
        return 1
    fi

    while IFS= read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
        # Skip comments and empty lines
        [[ "$line" =~ ^[[:space:]]*# ]] && continue
        [[ -z "${line// /}" ]] && continue

        # Parse key=value pairs
        if [[ "$line" =~ ^([^=]+)=(.*)$ ]]; then
            local key="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
            local value="${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"

            # Trim whitespace
            key="${key#"${key%%[![:space:]]*}"}"
            key="${key%"${key##*[![:space:]]}"}"
            value="${value#"${value%%[![:space:]]*}"}"
            value="${value%"${value##*[![:space:]]}"}"

            # Remove surrounding quotes if present
            if [[ "$value" =~ ^\"(.*)\"$ ]] || [[ "$value" =~ ^\'(.*)\'$ ]]; then
                value="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
            fi

            CONFIG["$key"]="$value"
        fi
    done < "$file"
}

# Get config value with default
get_config() {
    local key="$1"
    local default="${2:-}"

    echo "${CONFIG[$key]:-$default}"
}

# Check if key exists
has_config() {
    local key="$1"
    [[ -v CONFIG[$key] ]]
}

# Usage
parse_config "$CONFIG_FILE"

# Access values
echo "Database: $(get_config 'database' 'default.db')"
echo "Port: $(get_config 'port' '8080')"

if has_config 'debug'; then
    echo "Debug mode enabled"
fi

2. JSON Configuration with jq

Load and manipulate JSON configuration:

#!/bin/bash
# ABOUTME: JSON configuration loading with jq
# ABOUTME: Provides safe defaults and nested value access

# Check jq dependency
check_jq() {
    if ! command -v jq &> /dev/null; then
        echo "Error: jq is required but not installed" >&2
        echo "Install with: apt install jq (Ubuntu) or brew install jq (Mac)" >&2
        exit 1
    fi
}

# Load JSON config file
load_json_config() {
    local file="$1"

    if [[ ! -f "$file" ]]; then
        echo "{}"
        return 1
    fi

    # Validate JSON
    if ! jq empty "$file" 2>/dev/null; then
        echo "Error: Invalid JSON in $file" >&2
        echo "{}"
        return 1
    fi

    cat "$file"
}

# Get value from JSON with default
json_get() {
    local json="$1"
    local path=
     default=

     value
    value=$(  | jq -r  2>/dev/null)

     [[ -z  ||  ==  ]]; 
         
    
         
    
}


() {
     json=
     path=

      | jq -r  2>/dev/null
}


() {
     json=
     path=

     result
    result=$(  | jq -e  2>/dev/null)
    [[  ==  ]]
}


check_jq

CONFIG_JSON=$(load_json_config )


DB_HOST=$(json_get   )
DB_PORT=$(json_get   )
DEBUG=$(json_get   )
