simco v0.1.2

Simco

Extremely simple config file handling

Install

  npm install simco

Usage

  loadConfig = require 'simco'
  conf = loadConfig './default'

Config file

Config file is a standard node module exporting one function that will return the configuration object. Example of a config file (in coffee-script):

  module.exports = (extend) ->
    db:
      name: 'testdb'
      port: 27001
      host: 'localhost'
    http:
      port: 5000
      secure: false

Extending

The exported function will be given one parameter when called: A function with which you can extend other configuration files.

Fo example if you have to files: default.coffee and production.coffee.

default.coffee

  module.exports = (extend) ->
    db:
      name: 'testdb'
      port: 27001
      host: 'localhost'
    http:
      port: 5000
      secure: false

production.coffee

  module.exports = (extend) -> extend './default',
    http:
      secure: true

If you load the production configuration with conf = loadConfig './production', it has all the same values than in the default configuration exept the value for http.secure that was overridden to be true.
