super-config-file

The idea of this package is to allow an application to live reload aspects/configs without restarting.

This will load a config and reload upon changes. It offers event listeners. It also will let you specify a default config to generate. The default config will merge new root elements which don't exist in the old config.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install foobar.

const SuperConfigFile = require('super-config-file');
//import SuperConfigFile from 'super-config-file';

// Example - SuperConfigFile(SOURCE CONFIG, LOCAL OVERRIDE CONFIG (optional), default config useful for augmenting changes (optional)
const config1 = SuperConfigFile('example/config1.json', 'example/config1.local.json', {
  "field": "value" // Default config (optional), will also update config with any new fields
});

config1.on('read', (config) => { // initial read + reload, useful to initialise/reinitialise objects
  console.log('read');
  console.log(config);
});

config1.on('reload', (config) => { // reload
  console.log('reload');
  console.log(config);
});


// Keep demo running to listen for changes
