Make your node configuration easier

You can configure in different environment such as development, production,test,staging and etc... If the environment is not defined the default will be development

To specify the environment create a file with this format {environment}.js in your config folder

if you use config package before, it has similarity of the file structure

What's make this stand-out

• Lightweight (< 1kb)
• Predictable
• Very Fast (No parsing behind the scenes)
• No Dependencies
• Very Straightforward
• No need to call a function

Installation

npm i config-cjs

Usage

You need to create a config/ folder in your working directory

/config/default.js

export default {
  appName: '<Your App name>',
}

/config/production.js

export default {
  dbConfig: {
    host: process.env.DB_HOST,
    pass: process.env.DB_PASS,
  },
}

You can also use commonjs module.exports

process.env.NODE_ENV = "production"

const config = require("config-cjs")

console.log(config.appName) //<Your App name>

db.connect(config.dbConfig).then(()=>......)

You can also use the dotenv alongside with this

require("dotenv").config();

const config = require("config-cjs")

console.log(config.appName) //<Your App name>

db.connect(config.dbConfig).then(()=>......)

Don't use import or require inside the config file otherwise it will not work as your expected

How to change the config directory ?

@default /config

process.env['CONFIG_CJS-DIR'] = '/configuration'

How to debug if the result is not as expected ?

@default false

process.env['CONFIG_CJS_DEBUG'] = true

// Open the console and see the message
