# Flag Source
The flag source reads config from flags
## Format
We expect the use of the `flag` package. Upper case flags will be lower cased. Dashes will be used as delimiters.
### Example
```
dbAddress := flag.String("database_address", "127.0.0.1", "the db address")
dbPort := flag.Int("database_port", 3306, "the db port)
```
Becomes
```json
{
"database": {
"address": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 3306
}
}
```
## New Source
```go
flagSource := flag.NewSource(
// optionally enable reading of unset flags and their default
// values into config, defaults to false
IncludeUnset(true)
)
```
## Load Source
Load the source into config
```go
// Create new config
conf := config.NewConfig()
// Load file source
conf.Load(flagSource)
```
