@kiqjs/yaml

YAML configuration templates and helpers for KiqJS applications with server configuration defaults.

Features

• Default Configuration Templates: Ready-to-use YAML configuration files
• Profile-based Configs: Development and production profile templates
• Type-safe Helpers: TypeScript functions to access common configurations
• Server Config: Pre-configured server settings (port, host, prefix)
• Logging Config: Standard logging configuration structure
• Feature Flags: Built-in support for feature flag patterns

Installation

pnpm add @kiqjs/yaml

Quick Start

1. Copy Configuration Templates

Copy the template configuration files to your project's resources/ folder:

# From packages/yaml/resources/ to your-project/resources/
cp -r node_modules/@kiqjs/yaml/resources/*.yml resources/

This will give you:

• application.yml - Base configuration
• application-development.yml - Development overrides
• application-production.yml - Production overrides

2. Use Configuration Helpers

import { getServerConfig, getAppConfig, getLoggingConfig } from '@kiqjs/yaml';

// Get server configuration
const serverConfig = getServerConfig();
console.log(`Server: ${serverConfig.host}:${serverConfig.port}`);
// Output: Server: localhost:3000

// Get app metadata
const appConfig = getAppConfig();
console.log(`${appConfig.name} v${appConfig.version}`);
// Output: KiqJS Application v1.0.0

// Get logging configuration
const loggingConfig = getLoggingConfig();
if (loggingConfig.pretty) {
  console.log('Using pretty logging format');
}

3. Use with HTTP Server

import { KiqHttpApplication } from '@kiqjs/http';
import { getServerConfig } from '@kiqjs/yaml';

const app = new KiqHttpApplication();

const serverConfig = getServerConfig();

app.start(serverConfig.port, serverConfig.host).then(() => {
  console.log(`Server running at http://${serverConfig.host}:${serverConfig.port}`);
});

Default Configuration Structure

Base Configuration (application.yml)

# Active profiles
kiq:
  profiles:
    active: development

# Server configuration
server:
  port: 3000
  host: localhost
  prefix: /api

# Application metadata
app:
  name: KiqJS Application
  version: 1.0.0
  description: KiqJS application with default configuration

# Logging
logging:
  level: info
  format: json
  pretty: false

# Feature flags
features:
  enabled: true

Development Profile (application-development.yml)

• Port: 3000
• Host: localhost
• Logging: debug, pretty format
• Features: enabled

Production Profile (application-production.yml)

• Port: 8080
• Host: 0.0.0.0
• Logging: warn, json format
• Features: enabled

API Reference

getServerConfig(): ServerConfig

Returns server configuration from YAML:

interface ServerConfig {
  port: number;      // Default: 3000
  host: string;      // Default: 'localhost'
  prefix?: string;   // Default: undefined
}

getAppConfig(): AppConfig

Returns application metadata from YAML:

interface AppConfig {
  name: string;        // Default: 'KiqJS Application'
  version: string;     // Default: '1.0.0'
  description?: string;
}

getLoggingConfig(): LoggingConfig

Returns logging configuration from YAML:

interface LoggingConfig {
  level: 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';  // Default: 'info'
  format: 'json' | 'pretty';                   // Default: 'json'
  pretty?: boolean;                            // Default: false
}

isFeatureEnabled(featureName: string, defaultValue?: boolean): boolean

Checks if a feature flag is enabled:

if (isFeatureEnabled('features.newUI', false)) {
  // Enable new UI
}

Customization

You can customize the configuration files after copying them to your project:

# resources/application.yml
server:
  port: 4000              # Change port
  host: 0.0.0.0          # Change host
  prefix: /api/v2        # Add API prefix

app:
  name: My Awesome App   # Your app name
  version: 2.0.0

features:
  newFeature: true       # Add custom feature flags
  beta: false

Environment Variables

You can override any configuration value with environment variables:

SERVER_PORT=5000 node dist/index.js

The naming convention is uppercase with underscores, replacing dots:

• server.port → SERVER_PORT
• logging.level → LOGGING_LEVEL
• app.name → APP_NAME

Profiles

Switch between profiles using:

1. YAML configuration:

kiq:
  profiles:
    active: production

2. Environment variable:

NODE_ENV=production node dist/index.js
