Using logic to make configurations dynamic.
Making the configuration dynamic #
The River language allows you to use expressions to make your configuration dynamic. You can call built-in functions (like sys.env("VAR_NAME") to read environment variables, or string manipulation functions) and define local configuration blocks (local.file) to reuse values, thus avoiding repetition and facilitating maintenance.
