config-store v0.3.1

Config Store

A JavaScript config store.

The source is available for download from GitHub. Alternatively, you can install using Node Package Manager (npm):

npm install config-store

On the Server

On the server, it will read from three different locations (in order of priority):

• command line arguments
• a JSON configuration object (which may be read from a file)
• environment variables

Usage:

var configStore = require('config-store');
var config = configStore({...});
// or      = configStore('./config.json');

var port = config('PORT', 3000);
var host = config('HOST');

Alternatively:

var configStore = require('config-store');
configStore({...}, function (err, config) {
  var port = config('PORT', 3000);
  var host = config('HOST);
});

In the Browser

In the browser, it will read from a JSON configuration object (which may be read from a file). So far it's not been tested - feel free to do so!

Usage:

<script src="configStore.js"></script>

<script>
  (function () {
    var config = configStore({...});

    var port = config('PORT', 3000);
    var host = config('HOST');
  })();
</script>

<script>
  (function () {
    configStore('/config.json', function (err, config) {
      var port = config('PORT', 3000);
      var host = config('HOST');
    });
  })();
</script>
