Yargs command for managing config files
Install
- Install Node.js
- Install yargs and yargs-command-config via
npm
npm install --save yargs yargs-command-config
For the latest developer version, see Developer Install.
Usage
Create a file named bin.js
with the following contents:
var yargs = require('yargs');
// (config) Load command with path to config JSON file
// Replace './path/to/config.json' with your config JSON file
var config = require('yargs-command-config')({file: './path/to/config.json'});
// (yargs) Add command to manage config file
var argv = yargs.command(config).argv;
Display help options for bin.js
using node:
node bin.js config help
The following will be displayed:
bin config <task> [key] [value] [--config]
manage default config
<task> is one of:
* set
* delete
* view
* clear
* reset
Set option to value
> set [key] [value]
Remove default option
> delete [key]
View default options
> view
Clear default options
> clear
Reset default options
> reset
Manage other config file
> set [key] [value] --config other.json
> delete [key] --config other.json
> view --config other.json
> clear --config other.json
> reset --config other.json
Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
Default config files are managed with the commands below:
node bin.js config view
node bin.js config clear
node bin.js config reset
node bin.js config set key value
node bin.js config delete key
Other config files are managed by passing a path in the option --config
:
node bin.js config view --config config.json
node bin.js config clear --config config.json
node bin.js config reset --config config.json
node bin.js config set key value --config config.json
node bin.js config delete key --config config.json
