configman v1.0.2

ConfigMan

Dead simple, lightweight configuration utility.

Installation

npm i configman --save

Example

Given the following directory, at the root of your project :

config/
    app.js
    db.js

app.js containing :

module.exports = {
    default: { // This default name can be changed at instantiation
        name: 'My awesome app'
        port: 3000
    },
    dev: { // Could be anything
        port: 8888
    }
}

And db.js containing :

module.exports = {
    default: {
        name: 'myawesomedb',
        port: 3306
    },
    dev: {
        user: 'johndoe',
        password: 'youwillneverfind'
    }
}

We can easily retrieve the app's port and name for the dev environment :

const ConfigMan = require('configman');

const Config = new ConfigMan({ env: 'dev' });

Config.get('app').name; // "My awesome app"
Config.get('app').port; // 8888

We can also request nested properties :

Config.get('db', 'user'); // "johndoe"
