# Cuis-Smalltalk-INI

A lightweight INI file parser and writer for Cuis Smalltalk.

## Installation

Download `INI.pck.st` and:
```smalltalk
Feature require: 'INI'.
```

Or Drag and drop `INI.pck.st` file into Cuis.

## Examples

### Parse data from string
```smalltalk
| config |
config := INIConfig fromString: '
[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432
debug = yes
'.

config at: 'database' at: 'host'.               "Result: 'localhost'"
config at: 'database' at: 'port' as: #number.   "Result: 5432"
config at: 'database' at: 'debug' as: #boolean. "Result: true"
```

### Parse data from file
```smalltalk
| config |
config := INIConfig fromFile: '/path/to/config.ini'.
```

### Write to file
```smalltalk
| config |
config := INIConfig new.
config at: 'app' at: 'name' put: 'MyApp'.
config at: 'app' at: 'version' put: '1.0.0'.
config at: 'DEFAULT' at: 'language' put: 'en'.
config saveTo: '/path/to/output.ini'.
```

### Create
```smalltalk
| config |
config := INIConfig new.
config at: 'app' at: 'name' put: 'MyApp'.
config at: 'app' at: 'version' put: '1.0.0'.
config at: 'DEFAULT' at: 'language' put: 'en'.
config toString.
```
Result:
```ini
language = en

[app]
name = MyApp
version = 1.0.0
```

### Modify
```smalltalk
| config |
config := INIConfig fromString: '
[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432
debug = yes
'.
config at: 'database' at: 'port' put: 8080.
config toString 
```
Result:
```ini
[database]
debug = yes
host = localhost
port = 8080
```
