var config = require('cz');
var path = require('path');
config.load(path.normalize(__dirname + '/config.json')); // This loads the config file
config.set('random', 'random value'); // This adds { random: 'random value' } to the config object
console.log('config', config.get()); // This will return the whole config object currently loaded
console.log('db:host', config.get('db:host')); // This will get { db:{ host:{} } } from the config object
// Below are two ways of getting objects, the bottom one is the preferred way as it joins the retrieved values for you
console.log('mongodb://' + config.get('db:username') + ':' + config.get('db:password') + '@' + config.get('db:host') + ':' + config.get('db:port') + '/' + config.get('db:collection'));
console.log('mongodb://' + config.joinGets(['db:username', 'db:password', 'db:host', 'db:port', 'db:collection'], [':', '@', ':', '/']));
