config4u

Environment, command line or JSON file with comments and single quotes

Wanted multiple tiered config like config https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config will use NODE_ENV and ALCE parsing like getconfig with the added ability to define config.json directory or filename via command line --config or environment variable NODE_CONFIG_DIR

Install :hammer:

npm install config4u

Usage :bulb:

{
    postgres: {
        "url": '...', // database connection url
    }
}

config = new require('config4u')({ default: "values"})
dburl  = config.postgres.url

node myapp.js --config dir_or_filename // /somepath for /somepath.config.json or dev_config.json for /current_dir/dev_config.json

Assignment order

• Passed in defaults
• config.json file (in current application directory if not defined by --config)
• config.json file (as defined by --config)
• config.json file (optionally if defined by NODE_CONFIG_DIR)
• NODE_ENV environment value as JSON string, ex: NODE_ENV = "{postgres: {url: '...'}}"
