@beetcb/tcb-conf

what the hack is tcb-conf?

tcb-conf is how you store conf at cloudbase function runtime，inspired by conf from @sindresorhus

You can also use it as a cloudbase function runtime's environment variables setter(beacause we store thing to there)

when to use it?

When you have a tiny piese of data(a secret-key, for example), tcb-conf stores it for you. Don't Worry: it will still be there next time you invoke that function

Inaccurately, tcb-conf cloud be alternative to a database (for storing tiny data)

Note: Only using it inside Client NodeJS, it's convenient!

how to use it?

const conf = require('@beetcb/tcb-conf')

// Make sure to use the async function, otherwise it will block the code execution
exports.main = async () => {
  // Init conf entity
  await conf.load()
  console.log(conf.get('secret') || conf.set('secret', 'xxx 🕊'))
}

conf.<method>:

• get(key): get conf key's value
• set(key, value): set conf key using value
• getGlEnv(key): get global environment variable key's value
• setGlEnv(key, value): set global environment variable key using value

how it works?

Under the hood, when the function is about to reach the timeout(about 10ms brfore timeout), tcb-conf starts to update the function's environment variables for next time invoking
