Config Store

Using the language of your choice, write some code that can parse a configuration file following the specifications below. Follow your own best practices and coding/design principles.

• Do not use existing "complete" configuration parsing libraries/functions, we want to see how you would write the code to do this.
• Use of core and stdlib functions/objects such as string manipulation, regular expressions, etc is ok.
• We should be able to get the values of the config parameters in code, via their name. How this is done specifically is up to you.
• Boolean-like config values (on/off, yes/no, true/false) should return real booleans: true/false.
• Numeric config values should return real numerics: integers, doubles, etc
• Ignore or error out on invalid config lines, your choice.
• Please include a short example usage of your code so we can see how you call it/etc.
• Push your work to a public github repository and send us the link.

Valid config file

# This is what a comment looks like, ignore it
# All these config lines are valid
host = test.com
server_id=55331
server_load_alarm=2.5
user= user
# comment can appear here as well
verbose =true
test_mode = on
debug_mode = off
log_file_path = /tmp/logfile.log
send_notifications = yes

Usage

config = ConfigStore.new

puts config.debug_mode # Prints 'false' given the example config file above

Running the tests

$ rspec --color config_store_spec.rb
