Read the app's data/config.yml, anchored to the app root

Thin wrapper over config::get() that resolves data/config.yml relative to the app directory (an absolute path), instead of the config package's default search from the current working directory. This avoids the cwd pitfall where a helper or handler is evaluated with a working directory other than the app root and config::get() cannot find the file.

Usage

aurora_config(
  value = NULL,
  ...,
  dir = ".",
  file = NULL,
  config = Sys.getenv("R_CONFIG_ACTIVE", "default")
)

Arguments

value: Config value to read; NULL (default) returns the whole active configuration as a list.
...: Passed to config::get().
dir: App directory (used to locate data/config.yml).
file: Explicit path to the config file; overrides dir when supplied.
config: Active configuration name; defaults to the R_CONFIG_ACTIVE environment variable or "default".

Value

The requested config value (or the whole config list).

Details

data/config.yml (app runtime config: DB credentials, environment profiles, service URLs) is intentionally separate from _aurora.yml (aurora wiring); see the project decision records. This helper just makes reading it robust.
