Usage

Project structure

config
  default.js
  development.js
  production.js
modules
  foo
    index.js
    config
      default.js
      development.js
      production.js
  bar
    index.js
    config
      default.js
      development.js
      production.js
index.js

// config/default.js
module.exports = { 
  { foo: {key: '456'} } 
}

// modules/foo/config/default.js
module.exports = { 
  { {key: '123'} } 
}

import {config} from 'live-config'

config.get('foo.key') // 456

Scoped config.

import makeConfig from 'live-config'

const config = makeConfig('foo') 

config.get('key') // 456

Design

• Root config overrides all other config.
• Convention-based. Searches for a top-level config directory inside each module.
• Modules set default configuration by environment.
• A module's config is scoped to the module name from package.json.

Goals

• Predictable. Conventions for location of config directories and module-name scoping makes it easy to trace resolved configuration.
• Isomorphic. Works for Node.js and the browser.
