Import utils:
ESM (Node.js, Bun)
import {
defaults,
parse,
parseFile,
read,
readUser,
serialize,
write,
writeUser,
update,
updateUser,
} from "rc9";
CommonJS (Legacy Node.js)
const {
defaults,
parse,
parseFile,
read,
readUser,
serialize,
write,
writeUser,
update,
updateUser,
} = require("rc9");
Usage
.conf
:
db.username=username
db.password=multi word password
db.enabled=true
Update config:
update({ 'db.enabled': false }) // or update(..., { name: '.conf' })
Push to an array:
update({ 'modules[]': 'test' })
Read/Write config:
const config = read() // or read('.conf')
// config = {
// db: {
// username: 'username',
// password: 'multi word password',
// enabled: true
// }
// }
config.enabled = false
write(config) // or write(config, '.conf')
User Config:
It is common to keep config in user home directory (MacOS: /Users/{name}
, Linux: /home/{name}
, Windows: C:\users\{name}
)
you can use readUser
/writeuser
/updateUser
shortcuts to quickly do this:
writeUser({ token: 123 }, '.zoorc') // Will be saved in {home}/.zoorc
const conf = readUser('.zoorc') // { token: 123 }
Unflatten
RC uses flat to automatically flat/unflat when writing and reading rcfile.
It means that you can use .
for keys to define objects. Some examples:
hello.world = true
<=>{ hello: { world: true }
test.0 = A
<=>tags: [ 'A' ]
Note: If you use keys that can override like x=
and x.y=
, you can disable this feature by passing flat: true
option.
Tip: You can use keys ending with []
to push to an array like test[]=A
Native Values
RC uses destr to convert values into native javascript values.
So reading count=123
results { count: 123 }
(instead of { count: "123" }
) if you want to preserve strings as is, can use count="123"
.
