🌟 Getting Started

To get started with Configre, follow these steps:

1. Install the Library

   First, make sure you have Node.js installed. Then, add Configre to your project:

   npm install Configre --save

2. Setup Your Configuration Files

   Organize your configuration files within a directory (e.g., config). Create a default configuration file and environment-specific files as needed.

   • index.js: Your default configuration.
   • [hostname].js: Override configurations for specific hosts.
   • [hostname].dev.js: Development-specific configurations.

3. Use Configre in Your Project

   Import and use Configre to load your configurations:

   const cfg = require("Configre")(__dirname + "/config");
   console.log(cfg.db); // Access your db configuration

📚 Example

Imagine you have the following structure in your config directory:

• index.js: Contains default settings.
• myhostname.js: Contains overrides for the host named myhostname.

Your index.js might look like this:

module.exports = {
    db: {
        host: 'localhost',
        user: 'myuser',
        password: 'mypassword'
    },
    api: {
        key: 'development-api-key'
    }
}

And your myhostname.js:

module.exports = {
    db: {
        user: 'john',
        password: 'johns-password'
    }
}

Configre merges these configurations based on your environment, making your app adaptable and easier to manage.
