    • all-apps (contains files common to all hosts and all applications) file1.json file2.json

    • application name 1 (all config files common to application 1 on all hosts)

    fileA.json fileB.json

    • application name 2

    ...

  • application name X

  • hostname 1 (contains all files specific to this host name)

    • all-apps (files for all apps in host 1)

    • application name 1 (specific files for app 1 on host 1)

Usage

• load config file config.json

var confMgr = require('fscp-config');

var config = configMgr.loadConfig('my-config-root', 'my-appl', 'my-config.json');

config.json may be in :

• my-config-root/hostname1/my-appl/config.json
• my-config-root/hostname/all-apps/config.json
• my-config-root/all-hosts/my-appl/config.json
• my-config-root/all-hosts/all-apps/config.json
• ./config.json

• load default config file (config.json)

var confMgr = require('fscp-config');

var config = configMgr.loadConfig('my-config-root');

• do not parse config file

var confMgr = require('fscp-config');

var config = configMgr.loadConfig('my-config-root', 'my-appl', 'my-config.json', true);
