yet another config

Introduction | Install | Quick Start | Options | Contribute

Introduction

yacfg organizes the configuration for different deployment environments (e.g. production, development or test). It takes care of merging, caching and freezing your configuration (see Options).

Goals

• Simple
• Fast
• Lightweight
• Tested

Install

npm i --save yacfg

Quick Start

Using the default behaviour

lib/bootstrap.js

var yacfg = require('yacfg');

// init the configuration once
yacfg.init();
// ...

routes/home.js

// use your config in each module you want
var config = require('yacfg').config;

module.exports = function home(req, res) {
  res.send('Application "' + config.name  + '" running');
};

Using your own config module

lib/config.js

var yacfg = require('yacfg');

yacfg.init({
  path: 'path/to/your/config-directory' // defaults to `process.cwd() + '/config'`
});

module.exports = yacfg.config;

Using your own environment sequence

Rule: production > staging > development > test

var yacfg = require('yacfg');

yacfg.init({
  environment: 'development',
  sequence: ['production', 'staging', 'development', 'test']
});

Options

Option | Description | Default -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- environment | The current environment | process.env.NODE_ENV || 'production' path | The config base path | Defaults to <CWD>/config sequence | The sequence of your configuration e.g. production > development > test | ['production', 'development', 'test'] uncached | Force a clean configuration | false freeze | Freezes the configuration | false spec | The tb spec instance | null
