docker-config-loader
Advanced tools
A really simple utility which loads the config from docker secrets if a specified env var is passed, if not it loads the config from a local path
A extremely basic module to load a different config based on the environment.
Base Usage:
var loader = require('docker-config-loader');
var config;
try {
config = loader({secretName:'prod_config.json',localPath:'./local_config.json'})
} catch(e) {
//An Error occured, maybe the config was not found or could not be required.
}
If a environment var with the name set in secretName exists, the loader prefers it over the local path and tries to load it from /run/secrets/secretName
##Local Loading
The Path is relative to node_modules.
For Example:
if you got a project structure as follows:
- node_modules
- config.json
- src
- index.js
The loader will use the root path of the project,
so if you want to require the config.json you would have to set the following options:
loader({secretName:'prod_config.json',localPath:'./config.json'})
I hope this module is a nice utility for very basic needs like mine.
