# Config

There will be 2 config files available. One at 

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yaip/proxy.conf and one at proxy.conf in the directory that the
tool is run from. Either can be overwritten with command line flags.

The config file is (currently), very simple. Empty lines are ignored, as are
lines that start with a # symbol. This is useful if you wish to make comments
about configuration choices.

The file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is parsed first, followed by the file in the
current working directory meaning that the config file in the current directory
will take precedence.

To set a configuration option, the line should have the configuration option
followed by a colon, an optional space and the value it should be set to.

For example:

```
port: 8080
```

All options may also be set via a command line switch -c or --config followed by the name
and the value.

For example:

```
yaip --config port 8080
```


## Available Options

### port

The listening port.

Default:

```
port: 8080
```

### database

The database that requests and responses should be stored in.

Default:

```
database: proxy.sqlite
```

### localConfig

The name of the local config file:

Default:

```
localConfig: proxy.conf
```

### userConfig

The name of the user config file:

Default:

```
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yaip/proxy.conf
```

**Note:** It only makes sense to change this as a command line argument as it is
the first config file that is sourced.
