A small tool to get remote configuration files (.eslintrc, etc)

Disclaimer :

This module is provided as is, I decline any responsability for any consequences, wrong doing, unexpected effects linked in any way to the usage of the aforementioned module.

This module shoudn't be considered as production-ready.

Usage :

remote-config [OPTIONS]

Options :

--config=package.json // default: "package.json"

Define what JSON file will contain remote config files URLs

--key=remote-config // default: "remote-config"

Define where to look inside the configuration file

--overwrite=[true|false] // default: true

Whether the fetched file will be overwritten locally or not. Incompatible with recursive (should be compatible in future release)

--verbose=[true|false] // default: true

Self explanatory

--recursive=[true|false] // default: false

Whether to use each fetched file as a configuration file. Usefull for nested remote configuration files.

Minimalistic config file

Remote-config will look in the defined config file for the "remote-config" key, containing pairs such as "filepath_to_write": "url_to_fetch".

{
  "remote-config": {
    ".babelrc": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lagora/remote-config/master/.babelrc"
  }
}

Alternative syntax (for future usage)

{
  "remote-config": {
    ".babelrc": {
      "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lagora/remote-config/master/.babelrc"
    }
  }
}

Tips ?

You can, obviously, use remote-config to download a file containing various other config files. So you'll had to only remember one url, go figure.
