Play 2.4.3 : Reading content from config file

[Bond]

I'm able to read the contents that are stored in the conf/application.conf using the command

 

val port= Play.application().configuration().getInt("port")

But I have created one more file in conf directory.    conf/properties.conf and stored the values there.

But i'm not able to find how to read from a custom property file.

Please any one help me

Hello

Have you tried with https://github.com/typesafehub/config ? With it you can read from custom properties file.

Hi,

If you aren't able to read the custom property file with a configuration API (like the one Erol mentioned), you could also rely on Play's placement of the "conf" directory's contents on the classpath. You'd get an InputStream to the file and work from there:

val file = "properties.conf"

val inputStream = play.api.Play.resourceAsStream(file).getOrElse {

  throw new NullPointerException(s"Could not find resource '$file'!")

}
