API

load(name, cb)

Calling load is what actually gets a config.

Args

name (String): name of file to load cb: (function(err, config)): Called with config object

load.sync(name)

Synchronous alternative to load. Returns config or throws error. config object is the same except for the save method, which is also sync.

config.get(key)

Get key from the loaded config.

config.getAll()

Get all keys and values from config as an object. NOTE: Does not return actual object, just a copy.

config.set(key, value)

Set key to value. The file will be updated once you call config.save.

config.setAll(obj)

Set config's object to obj. obj must be JSON-safe. NOTE: Will not set config's object to a reference to obj, it will be a copy.

config.save(cb)

Write the config file with JSON encoded version of config's object. NOTE: If the config was gotten with load.sync, this method is also sync.

config.path

Resolved path to JSON file holding this config.
