basic-config does not handle reading config files. It has an init function that takes two objects that represent your production, and dev config.
Once you have initialized your config, you can call
config.get(parentConfigKey, nestedConfigKey). If a
key does not exist, an error will be thrown.
var config = require('config')
config.init({
// production config
siteUrl: 'http://production.site',
mailServiceCredentials: {
username : 'production@user.com',
password : 'userp@ss'
}
}, {
// dev config
siteUrl: 'http://dev.site',
mailServiceCredentials: {
username : 'development@user.com',
password : 'devp@ss'
}
})
console.log(
config.get('siteUrl') //http://dev.site
)
console.log(
config.get('mailServiceCredentials', 'username') // development@user.com
)
