CSON is great for config files, with less unnecessary tokens than JSON and more consistency than YAML.
Boring config loads a config file. It's deliberately sync - there's no point loading your app until its config file has been parsed.
First you'll need a config file. config.cson is a good name for a config file:
{
# CSON has comments. Which is neat
isProduction: null
someApi:
authKey: 'someApiKeyGoesHere' # TODO: pretty sure this isn't a real key
userAgent: 'Mozilla/2.02Gold (Win95; I)'
someOtherSetting: 'someValue'
}
Then require and use it like this:
var boringConfig = require('boring-config');
var config = boringConfig(__dirname + '/config.cson')
Simple.
