econf

Load configs from hierarchical objects to process.env

By default econf tries to load .econf.js file

#Usage Import the econf at the top of your code to ensure that your configurations will be loaded before anything else

require('econf')();

optionally, you can specify the file name and custom env name

require('econf')('config.js', 'NODE_ENV');

#.econf.js example

module.exports = [
	{
		_name: 'newrelic',
		NEW_RELIC_KEY: 'key'
	},
	{
		_name: 'production',
		NAME: 'Production Base',
		AWS_SECRET: 'aws-secret',
		AWS_KEY: 'aws-key',
		EMAIL_DELAY: 1000
	},
	{
		_name: 'production.001',
		_extend: ['production', 'newrelic'],
		NAME: 'Production 001',
		EMAIL_DELAY: 0
	}
]

#.econf.js example as object

module.exports = {
	'newrelic': {
		NEW_RELIC_KEY: 'key'
	},
	'production': {
		NAME: 'Production Base',
		AWS_SECRET: 'aws-secret',
		AWS_KEY: 'aws-key',
		EMAIL_DELAY: 1000
	},
	'production.001': {
		_extend: ['production', 'newrelic'],
		NAME: 'Production 001',
		EMAIL_DELAY: 0
	}
}

The config above will inject the code below into process.env

{
	"_name": "production.001",
	"_extend": [
		"production",
		"newrelic"
	],
	"NAME": "Production 001",
	"EMAIL_DELAY": 0,
	"AWS_SECRET": "aws-secret",
	"AWS_KEY": "aws-key",
	"NEW_RELIC_KEY": "key"
}

#Global Usage

With global version you can view your config parsed, just execute econf into your project directory
