deling

Simple app-wide configuration. Based on a simply and pre-defined pattern files are read and merged into the configuration object, which is exposed directly from the module.

No need to configure deling before it works - simple import your deling (the Danish word for 'sharing' and for the military unit 'platoon').

Install

npm install --save deling

Configuration

You don't need to configure deling, but you have to configure your app - and that's what we are going to do.

Usage

Create configuration

deling will look in the root of your project (by traverse module.parent) for config files, either in a directory named config or directly in the root. If the directory config exists deling will NOT be looking in the root for config files.

The content of each file will be merged into the config object, overwriting existing values for everything other than nested objects which will be deep merged.

# order of files in ./config
./config/default.{js,json}
./config/{NODE_ENV}.{js,json}
./config/local.{js,json}

# order of files ./
./config.{js,json}
./config.{NODE_ENV}.{js,json}
./config.local.{js,json}

Default configuration

deling automatically adds some data about your project before merging in content from you config files.

{
  root: '/absolute/path/to/your/application',
  env: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development',
  name: pkgJson.name || '',
  version: pkgJson.version || ''
}

Access configuration

var config = require('deling'); or the ES6 way import config from 'deling';

config is a reference to your combined config based on your current environment.

That's it... sorry if you hoped for more work - but deling is all about making configuration consitent and easy through out your application.
