## README

# config-autoload
Npm module for autoloading config files. It uses https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv module for loading environment variables from .env file

#quick start
create same folder and file structure
```
	myapp/config
	myapp/config/.env
	myapp/config/config.js
```
	
config.js example : 

```javascript
var path = require('path');
var _ = require('lodash');

module.exports = {
	path : path.normalize(__dirname + "/.."),
	name : process.env.NAME,
	port : _.parseInt( process.env.PORT )
};
````
.env example 
```
NAME=xyz
PORT=3306
```


later in code require config-autoload and have access to object defined in config.js
```javascript
var config = require('config-autoload');
console.log(config); 
//output
{ 
	path : '/home/xyz/myapp/', 
	name : 'xyz', 
	port : 3306  
}
```





create a folder for config files
	myapp/config

for development create a .env file with env variables 

	myapp/config/.env


create a config.js file for handling variables

	myapp/config/config.js
