Node-cfg

Introduction

Node-cfg is a configuration helper to make the daily work a bit easier.

It lets you define a set of configuration values for different deployment environments (dev, test, qa, staging, production, etc...).

• Simple - Get started fast
• Powerful - For enterprise deployment
• Lightweight - Small file and memory footprint

Quick Start

The following examples are in JSON format.

Install node-cfg in your application and create the default config file.

$ npm install node-cfg
$ mkdir config
$ vi config/default.json

{
  "db": {
    "conn": "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/app"
  }
}

Edit config overrides for production deployment:

$ vi config/production.json

{
  "db": {
    "conn": "mongodb://10.1.0.22:27017/app"
  }
}

Use node-cfg in your code:

var config = require('node-cfg');
...
db.connect(config.db.conn, ...);

Start your app server:

$ export NODE_ENV=production
$ node app.js

Running in this configuration, the db.conn element will come from the production.json file.
