Figue

Platform agnostic configuration management library, with environmental variables and validation, like convict but simpler, cross env and using zod schemas.

Usage

Install package:

# npm
npm install figue zod

# yarn
yarn install figue zod

# pnpm
pnpm install figue zod

Import:

// ESM
import { defineConfig } from 'figue';

// CommonJS
const { defineConfig } = require('figue');

API

Basic example

import { defineConfig } from 'figue';
import { z } from 'zod';

const { config } = defineConfig(
  {
    env: {
      doc: 'Application current environment',
      default: 'development',
      schema: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'test']),
      env: 'NODE_ENV',
    },
    port: {
      doc: 'Application port to listen',
      schema: z.coerce.number().int().positive(),
      default: 3000,
      env: 'PORT',
    },
    db: {
      host: {
        doc: 'Database server url',
        schema: z.string().url(),
        default: 'localhost',
        env: 'APP_DB_HOST',
      },
      username: {
        doc: 'Database server username',
        schema: z.string(),
        default: 'pg',
        env: 'APP_DB_USERNAME',
      },
      password: {
        doc: 'Database server password',
        schema: z.string(),
        default: '',
        env: 'APP_DB_PASSWORD',
      },
    },
  },
  {
    envSource: process.env,
  },
);

console.log(config);
// {
//   env: "development",
//   port: 3000,
//   db: {
//     url: "https://localhost",
//     username: "pg",
//     password: "",
//   },
// }

Load environnement

Use the envSource key of the second argument of defineConfig to specify the source of the environment variables:

const { config } = defineConfig(
  {
    /* ... */
  },
  {
    envSource: process.env,
  },
);

In some case you don't have access to a process.env variable, like with vite, just simply load what stores your env variables :

const { config } = defineConfig(
  {
    /* ... */
  },
  {
    envSource: import.meta.env,
  },
);

You can even specify you custom environment storage as long as it's a simple flat object map, for example:

const { config } = defineConfig(
  {
    env: {
      doc: 'Application current environment',
      default: 'development',
      schema: z.enum(['development', 'production', 'test']),
      env: 'NODE_ENV',
    },

    /* ... */
  },
  {
    envSource: {
      NODE_ENV: 'development',
      PORT: '3000',
      APP_DB_HOST: 'localhost',
      APP_DB_USERNAME: 'pg',
      APP_DB_PASSWORD: '',
    },
  },
);

If, for some reason, you have multiple sources of environment variables, you can use the envSources key of the second argument of defineConfig to specify an array of sources:

const { config } = defineConfig(
  {
    /* ... */
  },
  {
    envSource: [import.meta.env, myEnvs],
  },
);

What's wrong with convict?

Convict is meant to be used in node based environnement, it needs to have access to global variables that may may not be present in some environnement (like process, global), and it also imports fs.

Figue?

Figue is the french for fig -> con-fig.
