schemaconf v0.1.1

WIP: SchemaConf

SchemaConf is a Node.js library for parsing a INI-like configuration system, and validating the result based on a pre-defined schema. This catches mistakes in configuration. Since entries can be repeated, it can also be used as a simple human-readable plain-text storage system, such as for fixtures.

WIP WARNING: SchemaConf is mostly undocumented.

SchemaConf is the file format used by the Whiteboard project.

It was originally teased out of the Scroll Editor project, but has not yet been fully dis-entangled. So, while it's basically "all there", it is not ready for public consumption, as it has has no public API or documentation.

Running tests

make test

Example SchemaConf files

    [entry]
    id = 1
    fruit = banana
    # Multiline delims include EOF, ''', and """
    description : EOF
        A block
        of text
    EOF

    # The same header being repeated generates a list
    [entry]
    id = 2
    fruit = pear
    description  : '  allows whitespace  '

    [OtherStuff]
    # Using { and } allows for nested types (no recursion, though)
    multivar : {
        [thing1]
        var = thing
        [thing2]
        var2 = thing2
    }
