panda-config v1.0.0-alpha-04
Panda Config
Panda Config helps you manage config files.
Configuration = require "panda-config"
configuration = Configurator.create
name: "settings"
extension: "yml"
format: "yaml"
options = yield Configuration.load configuration
assert options.messages.welcome == "Hello, World!"
Suppose you want a dot-file in your users' home directory:
Configuration = require "panda-config"
configuration = Configuration.create
name: "foo"
prefix: "."
paths: [ process.env.HOME ]
format: "yaml"
options = yield load configuration
You can update configurations, too, making it easy to write command-line tools that update a configuration.
options.email = "johndoe@acme.org"
save configuration, options
Status
This is an alpha release, meaning it is not recommended for production use.
