nodenvconf
nodenvconf primary extend the konphyg to read environment variables with predefined prefix and override the static konphyg values.
You can also use JSON.stringify values to be set.
What is konphyg?
konphyg is a smart lib reading cascading configuration files easy. You just define your folder containing your json configuration files. konphyg read them all and merge them to one object, separated by filename inside. konphyg also use the NODE_ENV paramenter to read only environment specific configuration files. That way on NODE_ENV = 'dev' files named .dev.json (database.dev.json) will be used and extend and override basic files like database.json.
So why nodenvconf?
nodenvconf read and transform enviroment variables to objects and override the konphyg created objects.
That way it's easy to maintain on Systems like heroku your app configuration dynamicly without the need of new deploy.
You can change api path, auth tokens and other things lightning fast.
And even more. You can use ist also with your frontend application.
Install
$ npm install konphyg
