Supported search patterns types

ibm_cloud_config supports searching for values using three search pattern types - cloudfoundry, env, file.

• Using cloudfoundry allows to search for values in VCAP_SERVICES and VCAP_APPLICATIONS environment variables

• Using env allows to search for values in environment variables

• Using file allows to search for values in text/json files

Example search patterns

• cloudfoundry:service-instance-name - searches through parsed VCAP_SERVICES environment variable and returns the credentials object of the matching service instance name

• cloudfoundry:$.JSONPath - searches through parsed VCAP_SERVICES and VCAP_APPLICATION environment variables and returns the value that corresponds to JSONPath

• env:env-var-name - returns environment variable named “env-var-name”

• env:env-var-name:$.JSONPath - attempts to parse the environment variable “env-var-name” and return a value that corresponds to JSONPath

• file:/server/config.text - returns content of /server/config.text file

• file:/server/config.json:$.JSONPath - reads the content of /server/config.json file, tries to parse it, returns the value that corresponds to JSONPath
