Config

Mocha uses class-based configuration, and the config will be loaded upon startup.

class BaseConfig(object):
    """
    Base Configuration.
    """

    APPLICATION_NAME = "Mocha"

    APPLICATION_URL = ""

    APPLICATION_VERSION = "0.0.1"

    GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_ID = ""

    ADMIN_EMAIL = None

    CONTACT_EMAIL = None

    PAGINATION_PER_PAGE = 20

    ...


class Dev(BaseConfig):
    """
    Config for development environment
    """
    SERVER_NAME = None
    DEBUG = True
    SECRET_KEY = "PLEASE CHANGE ME"


class Prod(BaseConfig):
    """
    Config for Production environment
    """
    SERVER_NAME = "abc.com"
    DEBUG = False
    SECRET_KEY = "My Prod Secret"
    COMPRESS_HTML = True

It is recommended to have a base class, BaseConfig, and your environment classes Dev, Prod which are subclasses of the BaseConfig, this way they can share some common config.

The environment classes will be loaded on Mocha startup. By default, and in development, Mocha will attempt to load the Dev if one isn't provided.

To switch to a different config, you have to set the environment variable

env=prod mocha :serve

or to set the application along with the environment

app=main:prod mocha :serve

The code above will load the Prod config.

One main advantage of having your config like that, is that you have the ability of using different config for different environment, could be for testing, prod, dev, etc.
