Configuration file example for PostgreSQL:

{
  "adapter": "pgsql",
  "host": "127.0.0.1",
  "port": "5432",
  "username": "root",
  "password": "root",
  "database": "test",
  "schema": "test"
}

Configuration file is read via require(), so you can also use a .js file to dynamically generate a configuration. It may be useful in order to read environment variables for example.
