Config object

Config class implementation

Properties

• raw: Spring raw response data.
• properties: computed properties as per Spring specification:

  Property keys in more specifically named files override those in application.properties or application.yml.

Methods

• get(...parts): Retrieve a value at a given path or undefined. Multiple parameters can be used to calculate the key.
  • parts - string, variable, mandatory:
• forEach(callback, includeOverridden): Iterates over every key/value in the config.
  • callback - function(key: string, value: string), mandatory: iteration callback.
  • includeOverridden - boolean, optional, default=false: if true, include overridden keys.
• toString(spaces): string: Returns a string representation of raw property.
  • spaces - number, optional: spaces to use in format.
• toObject(): Returns the whole configuration as an object.

config.get("this.is.a.key");
config.get("this.is", "a.key");
config.get("this", "is", "a", "key");

config.forEach((key, value) => console.log(key + ":" + value));

Behind a proxy

Example (adapted from https-proxy-agent site):

const HttpsProxyAgent = require('https-proxy-agent')
const client = require('cloud-config-client')

const proxy = process.env.http_proxy || 'http://168.63.76.32:3128'
console.log('using proxy server %j', proxy)
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy)

const options = {
  application: 'demo',
  profiles: ['test', 'timeout'],
  agent
}
client.load(options).then((cfg) => {
  console.log(cfg.get('test.users', 'multi.uid'))
  console.log(cfg.toString(2))
}).catch((error) => console.error(error))
