multi-ini

multi-ini

An ini-file parser which supports multi line, multiple levels and arrays to get a maximum of compatibility with Zend config files.

Install

npm install multi-ini

Usage

ini = require('multi-ini');
content = ini.read(file);
content.section.key = value;
ini.write(file, content);

Options

Following options are available:

• encoding ['utf8'] - directly passed to readFileSync
• keep_quotes [false] - does not strip quotes around values
• filters - predefined lowercase, uppercase, trim

Examples

encoding

ini = require('multi-ini');
content = ini.read(file, {encoding: 'utf8'});
content.section.key = value;
ini.write(file, content, {encoding: 'utf8'});

keep_quotes

This option is by default off to be backward compatible, if you ever need the value containing the quotes then use this.

key="value"

Enabling this option will result in "value" instead of value.

ini = require('multi-ini');
content = ini.read(file, {keep_quotes: false});

filters

MultiIni = require('multi-ini');
ini = new MultiIni.Class({
    filters: [MultiIni.filters.lowercase]
});
content = ini.read(file);

Define a custom filter

MultiIni = require('multi-ini');
ini = new MultiIni.Class({
    filters: [
        function (value) {
            return "Prepend " + value;
        }
    ]
});
content = ini.read(file);
