Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

What's "confurg"?

confurg is a node.js configuration loader: supports chaining, command line options, ENV variables, and more.

confurg is opinionated and has a clear order of precedence.

The config file formats can be either CSON or JSON.

Overview

Just require and tell confurg what your project is called:

config = require("confurg").init "myproject"

In this example, confurg will check the following locations in decreasing order of value:

1. Command line options such as --bar=baz
2. ENV variables prefaced with myproject_ 
3. /home/{user}/.myproject.cson
4. ./config.cson, based on the location of the script that required confurg
5. Defaults passed into initialization: require("confurg")({ ... },{ defaults: "go here" })

confurg will return an object containing the merged results of all 5 locations.

confurg performs a deep merge, which means:

if /home/you/.myproject.cson contains

    {
        foo:
            bar: "one"
    }

and ./config.cson contains

    {
        foo:
            baz: "two"
    }

the result will be

    {
        foo:
            bar: "one"
            baz: "two"
    }

Regarding environment variables

Most shells are very strict with variable names. Bash only allows alphanumerics and underscores. Your project should be named appropriately (my_project instead of my-project) if this is an important factor.

Additionally, to overwrite deeply nested config values, simply replace dots with a double underscore:

    $ export myproject_foo__bar__baz="value"

the above would overwrite the following:

    foo.bar.baz

in your config.

Installation

The recommended way is through npm:

$ npm install confurg

Otherwise, you can check confurg into your repository and expose it:

$ git clone git://github.com/awnist/confurg.git node_modules/confurg/
