38% of CISOs Fear They’re Not Moving Fast Enough on AI
CISOs are racing to adopt AI for cybersecurity, but hurdles in budgets and governance may leave some falling behind in the fight against cyber threats.
home-config
Advanced tools
This Node.js module provides an easy way to read and write configuration files in a user's home directory, where many Linux applications store configuration files.
To install it: npm install home-config
The home directory is process.env.HOME
, unless you are on Windows, in which
case it is process.env.USERPROFILE
.
Configuration files are stored in ini format as parsed by
isaacs/ini. key = value
lines work, and
[section]
appears as an object with any properties under it as keys.
Basic usage is to require the module and call .load()
with your desired
config filename:
var cfg = require('home-config').load('.myapprc');
// or
var cfg = require('home-config').load('.myapprc', {
optionName : 'defaultValue'
});
You can make changes then save your config file (but any user comments or indentation will be removed):
cfg.section = {
property : 'x'
};
cfg.save();
// or
cfg.save('some-other-filename');
The following top-level config key names are prohibited and will not be saved or loaded:
save
getAll
__filename
Finally, this package is designed to work with config files in the current
user's home directory, but all filenames are passed to
path.resolve
, so
if you pass an absolute path to .load()
or .save()
then it will be used
as-is.
