RDUK - configuration

Manage your Node.js app configuration

Installation

npm install @rduk/configuration --save --save-exact

Naming

Add the configuration file at the root of your project. You have to name it according to the argument passed to the factory.

var configuration = require('@rduk/configuration');

var myConfig;

/* config.yml */
myConfig = configuration();

/* config.dev.yml */
myConfig = configuration('dev');

/* config.prod.yml */
myConfig = configuration('prod');

Note:

If you set NODE_ENV, you can access the configuration according to it

myConfig = configuration.load(); //will load config.dev.yml if NODE_ENV === dev

Note:

If you prefer put your config file within another folder, you can do so by adding in the package.json of your solution a rduk configuration section.

# example of package.json (path/to/config/app.yaml)
{
    ...
    "rduk": {
        "config": {
            "path": "path/to/config", # (default: PWD)
            "ext": ".yaml", # (default: .yml)
            "prefix": "app" # (default: config)
        }
    }
}

or use RDUK_CONFIG_* environment variables as follow :

• RDUK_CONFIG_PATH=path/to/config
• RDUK_CONFIG_EXT=.yaml
• RDUK_CONFIG_PREFIX=app
