cascade-ini

Builds a configuration object by merging all ini files with the same name on a given directory path.

example

var ini = require('cascade-ini');
 
//Reads a single ini file.
ini.parseFile('path/to/ini/file', function(err, config) {
  console.log(config);
});
 
//Merges all file.ini found in directories: path/to/ini/, path/to/ and path/
ini.parseFile('path/to/ini/file.ini', 3, function(err, config) {
  console.log(config);
});

methods

var ini = require('cascade-ini');

parseFile(path, hierarchyLevel, cb)

Given a path to a ini file, this method will read all ini files with the same name as the requested one starting at path and going up the directory hierarchy until hierarchyLevel is reached or the root drive is found. For every file found, all properties are merged into the previous one with the child file having precedence over the parent one.

If you set hierarchyLevel to an invalid value or simply do not specify it, 1 will be used. The value of hierarchyLevel represents the number of directories that will be searched for the ini file up the directory tree.

You must provide a valid path argument pointing to a valid ini file.

install

With npm do:

npm install cascade-ini
