Fconfig NPM | npm.io

fconfig

fconfig is a minimal configuration library for node.js, inspired by the config class of the ZEND PHP framework.

It allows multi-environment configurations to be read from either static .JSON-files or dynamic .js & .coffee-files.

By organising your configuration in environment-specific blocks and configuring fconfig accordingly, you only have to write minimal configuration as non-default configurations automatically base themselves upon the default environment.

Ie. anything that is declared in development is automatically extended to other environments such as production when development is set as your default environment. (See example below)

Example configuration

# /configs/config.coffee
development: 
  sendEmails: false
  database:
    host: "127.0.0.1"
	
# This block will extend the above "development" block so only
# specify what needs to differ here
production:
  database:
    host: "192.168.1.30"

# app.coffee
fconfig = require "fconfig"
config =  new fconfig
  config:      "config.coffee"
  env_default: "development" # Set the development-block as default

See the example/app.coffee file for more details.
