# Viper Go Setup
Set up Viper for Go configuration management.
## Generated Patterns
```go
package config
import (
"github.com/spf13/viper"
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
)
type Config struct {
Server ServerConfig `mapstructure:"server"`
Database DatabaseConfig `mapstructure:"database"`
}
type ServerConfig struct {
Host string `mapstructure:"host"`
Port int `mapstructure:"port"`
}
func InitConfig(cfgFile string) (*Config, error) {
if cfgFile != "" {
viper.SetConfigFile(cfgFile)
} else {
viper.SetConfigName("config")
viper.SetConfigType("yaml")
viper.AddConfigPath(".")
viper.AddConfigPath("$HOME/.myapp")
}
viper.AutomaticEnv()
viper.SetEnvPrefix("MYAPP")
if err := viper.ReadInConfig(); err != nil {
if _, ok := err.(viper.ConfigFileNotFoundError); !ok {
return nil, err
}
}
var cfg Config
if err := viper.Unmarshal(&cfg); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return &cfg, nil
}
```
