Out of the box application environment and configuration service.

Need to manage several environment and configurations for your knifecycle based app? This module is all what your need.

Out of the box, standard compliant, application environment:

accepting only standard NODE_ENV values: test, development, production,
managing application environment in a clean and separate APP_ENV environment variable,
leverage dotenv to read environment variables,
manage separate and type checked applications configurations for each deployment environments and allows loading it automatically (in the ./configs/${APP_ENV}/index file).

It requires log and importer services to be passed in, you can find implementations in the common-services project.

It also relies on constant services you will have to provide: APP_ENV, NODE_ENV and the MAIN_FILE_URL (directory where actual code is).
