Typesafe config: write / create reference









up vote

What I want to do is quite straight forward. I want to create a config object in my code and some of the values should be references. I then want to save that config to a file and later, when reading it, the references will be substituted with the correct value.
I use lightbends typesafe config library and the scala wrapper pureconfig (but don't mind about pureconfig)



Now to read and substitute values correctly the config needs to look something like this:



"name" 
"someNormalValue" : "v"
"subsitute" : $substitute-value



The question is, how can I actually generate such a config using the mentioned library.



Ps. I'm looking for a nicer solution than just rendering the config and going back to 'manually' remove the double quotes around $substitute-value



Thanks for you responses!
