Provides a simple means of saving/loading settings from a yaml file without the yaml fuss.

Provide a very simple method to use yaml files for saving an apps configuration.

Saving config data:

void save() {
  /// create a new .settings.yaml
  var settings = SettingsYaml.load(pathToSettings: '.settings.yaml');

  settings['dbname'] = 'billing';
  settings['dbusername'] = 'username';
  settings['dbpassword'] = 'apassword';
  settings['timeout'] = 200;
  settings['ats'] = <String>['cat', 'bat', 'rat'];
  settings['hosts'] = <String, String>{
        'host1': 'one',
        'host2': 'two',
        'host3': 'three'
      };

  settings.save();
}

Loading config data.

void load() {

  /// load an existing .settings.yaml, if it doesn't exist then create it.
  var settings = SettingsYaml.load(pathToSettings: '.settings.yaml', create: true);

  var dbname = settings['dbname'] as String;
  var username = settings['dbusername']as String;
  var password = settings['dbpassword']as String;
  var timeout = settings['timeout']as String;
  var ats = settings['ats']; // List<dynamic>

  List<String> atsAsString = yaml.asStringList['ats'];
  var hosts = settings['hosts'] as Map<String, String>;

  settings['a_String'] = 'hello world';
  settings['an_int'] = 10;
  settings['a_double'] = 10.0;
  settings['a_bool'] = true;

  var a_String = settings.asString('a_String');
  var an_int = settings.asInt('an_int');
  var a_double = settings.asDoule('a_double');
  var a_bool = settings.asBool('a_bool');


  print('dbname $dbname, username: $username, password: $password, timeout: $timeout');

  /// change something
  var newPassword = ask('password');
  settings['dbpassword'] = newPassword;
  settings['hosts'] = <String, String>{
        'host1': 'one',
        'host2': 'two',
        'host3': 'three';
  settings['ats'] = <String>['cat', 'bat', 'rat'];

  settings.save();
}
