Usage

var configComments = require('config-comments');

configComments('my-app', string[, options]);

Example

Assuming we have the following in file lib.js:

// my-app: foo bar baz */
function foo(str) {
  return str;
}

function bar(str) {
  /* my-app: --disable=qux */
  return str;
}

We would pass lib.js as a string to configComments:

var config = configComments('my-app', str);

Result

{ 
  abc: { 
  _: [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz' ], 
    disable: 'qux' 
  } 
}
