App configuration utilities for Node.js
- highly customizable to suit your needs
- use any source (database, file, environment variables, etc)
npm install boco-config
BocoConfig = require 'boco-config'
# optionally specify how configuration values are treated
configuration = new BocoConfig.Configuration
getDefaultValue: (envKey, key) ->
# default behavior is to return null
return '001' if key is 'FOO'
null
transformValue: (envKey, key, value) ->
# default behavior is to return `value` unchanged
return parseInt value if key is 'FOO'
value
onValueNotSet: (envKey, key) ->
# default behavior is to throw an error, let's log instead:
console.log "Missing value: #{envKey}.#{key}"
# optionally specify sources (defaults to env and argv)
# order denotes ascending priority (highest last)
sources = Array \
new BocoConfig.JsonFileSource(path: './config.json'),
new BocoConfig.EnvSource(),
new BocoConfig.ArgvSource()
# load an environment configuration
BocoConfig.loadEnvironment {configuration, sources}, (error, env) ->
throw error if error?
console.log env.get('FOO') # => 1
env.get('BAR') # => Missing value: develop.BAR
Configuration values must be loaded from one or more sources.
Each source provides a getValues(done)
function that returns an object with shared
, overrides
, and environments[env]
values.
A call to get
a configuration value will look first at overrides, then at environments[env], then at shared, and finally call getDefaultValue
as a last resort.
This makes writing your own custom config source is simple, as the only method you need to implement is getValues
.
The values are retrieved from each source in order, and are overwritten
Uses process.env
as overrides configuration values.
Parses process.argv
(using minimist
by default) and uses the result as overrides configuration values.
Loads JSON from path
and applies overrides, shared, and environments values.
{
"shared": {
"FOO": "foo"
},
"overrides": {
"FOO": "foo-override"
},
"environments": {
"develop": {
"BAR": "bar-develop"
},
"staging": {
"BAR": "bar-staging"
},
"production": {
"BAR": "bar-production"
}
}
}
An abstract file source, you can supply path
and parseContent(content, done)
as options to parse whatever config file source you would like to use (YAML, etc).
