simple-conf

Super simple config module that allows you to easily share some config options for your application with a few helpers. I wrote this because I needed something fairly static for my express sub applications.

Heads up!

I am still fairly regularly breaking, refactoring and perfecting my universal strategy to making one simple config file... to rule them all. (jk, if i wanted that i wouldn't have written this in coffeescript right? :neckbeard:)

NPM

Example

var Config = require('simple-conf');
 
var options = {
  title: "Some example title",
  db_path: "test",
  port: 1337,
  init: false
};
 
var config = module.exports = new Config(options);

Quick overview

new Config(options)

Returns

If your options object looks like this:

{
  title: "Some example title",
  db_path: "test",
  port: 1337,
  init: false
}

Your output would be:

{
  title: "Some example title",
  protocol: "http://",
  host: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 1337,
  uri: "http://127.0.0.1:1337",
  db_connection: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017",
  db_path: "test",
  db_uri: "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test",
  init: false
}

config.saveFile(path, callback)

Stores your config data to config.json, so you can load your app with that instead of this module. I use it for client setups, so when they deploy their application I don't need to worry about a db being down, or this module not building.

Returns

  • config.json in the path specified

config.extended(req)

Useful when you have access to the req object in express.js

Returns

  • ip - client ip, not the server/router ip
  • user - if req.user exists it stores it to this
  • engine - application uri

config.folders(path, callback)

Creates folders easily so you don't have to deal with .placeholder or alike workarounds

Returns

  • success or failure message

config.colors()

Helpful when dealing with a lot of console.

Returns

  • red
  • cyan
  • reset

config.secret()

Keeps your sensitive stuff in a prototype and grabs from process.env.NODE_PASS defaults inside source

Returns

  • secret

config.locals()

Deprecated, planning on destroying this soon.


config.init(app)

If you're building a lot of express apps this binds the title and port, more coming soon..
