Configuration loading for node.js applications
Configuration loader for node.js applications.
[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/cpsubrian/node-etc.png)](http://travis-ci.org/cpsubrian/node-etc)
Idea
----
Your application probably needs to load configuration from multiple sources and
make them available (with fallbacks) as one object. Etc is here to
help! Etc provides a fairly complete API for loading configuration from a
variety of sources, however, its primary intended use case is to load config from
(in order of importance): argv, environment, files in `./etc`, and defaults.
Examples
--------
#### Easy Mode
```js
var conf = require('etc')().all().toJSON();
```
#### Easy Mode done manually
```js
var etc = require('etc')();
etc
.argv()
.env()
.etc();
var conf = etc.toJSON();
```
#### Load configuration from argv, env, a file, and defaults.
```js
var etc = require('etc')();
etc.argv();
etc.env();
etc.file('/path/to/you/file/config.json');
etc.add({
my: 'defaults'
});
var conf = etc.toJSON();
```
#### Load configuration from `/etc/myapp/*`
```js
var etc = require('etc')();
etc.folder('/etc/myapp');
var conf = etc.toJSON();
```
#### Work with configuration using deliminated keys
```js
var etc = require('etc')();
etc.add({
host: 'localhost',
port: 3000,
meta: {
title: 'Cool title'
}
});
console.log(etc.get('meta:title'));
// Cool title
etc.set('meta:description', 'This is a really cool app');
console.log(etc.get('meta'));
// { title: 'Cool title',
// description: 'This is a really cool app' }
```
API
---
### require('etc')([delim])
Etc exports a factory function the creates instances of `Etc` objects. You can
optionally specify the key delimiter to use (defaults to ` : `)
### etc.get(key)
Fetch a value from the configuration stack. Keys can be simple strings or
deliminated strings such as `db:host`, which will dive into the configuration
to grab a nested value.
### etc.set(key, value)
(Chainable) Set a new configuration value. The key can be a simple string or a deliminated
string.
### etc.toJSON()
Returns all of the configuration, deep-merged into a single object.
### etc.use(plugin, options)
(Chainable) Attach an etc plugin. See more below.
### etc.all()
(Chainable) Alias for `etc.argv().env().etc().pkg()`
### etc.argv()
(Chainable) Parses argv using [optimist](https://github.com/substack/node-optimist)
and adds it to the configuration.
### etc.env(prefix [app], delim [_])
(Chainable) Adds any environment variables that start with the prefix
(defaults to 'app_') to the configuration. The prefix is stripped from the key.
### etc.add(obj)
(Chainable) Add configuration from an object literal.
### etc.file(filePath, [nameed])
(Chainable) Add configuration from a file. A suitable parser must be registered
in etc.parsers ('.json' and '.js' supported by default). If `named` is true
then the extension will be stripped from the filename and the contents will
be added nested under that name.
For example, if your filename is `/path/to/conf/db.json`, then the configuration
will be added like:
```
{
"db": { [contents of db.json ] }
}
```
### etc.folder(dir)
(Chainable) Loops through the files in `dir` and adds them to the configuration.
All files will be added with `named=true` (see etc.file()), except for one
special case when the filename is `config.*`.
### etc.pkg()
(Chainable) Try to find the local `package.json` for the consumer of etc and
look for an `etc` key in it. If it exists then add the contents to the
configuration.
Example:
```
{
"name": "etc-example",
"description": "Etc example",
"main": "example.js",
"dependencies": {
"etc": "*"
},
"etc": {
"db": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3000
}
}
}
```
### etc.etc()
(Chainable) Look for `[app root]/etc` (based on location of package.json) and
load it using `etc.folder()`.
Plugins
-------
Etc supports a simple plugin system, primarily useful for adding new file
parsers. Plugins should implement an `attach` method like so:
```js
exports.attach = function(options) {
options = options || {};
// Plugin will be attached with the scope set to an etc instance.
var etc = this;
etc.parsers['xml'] = xmlparser;
}
function xmlparser(filePath) {
// Parse the file and return an object literal.
}
```
### etc-yaml
Coming soon
### etc-redis
Coming soon
