Basic Usage

// Import library
const ConfigBuilder = require('ember-cli-config-builder');
 
// Create builder instance. Notice: it is async operation which returns
// Promise because async fs.readFile method is used to read file contents
let config = await ConfigBuilder.create('./my-addon/config/environment.js');
 
// Read variables with #get(path) method. Notice: it is always returns string
// with raw value. Example: "'string value'", 'true', '{ object: true }' etc
config.get('rootURL'); // "'/'"
 
// Read nested values with dot-separated path
config.get('EmberENV.EXTEND_PROTOTYPES.Date'); // 'false'
 
// Read multiple values at once
config.get(['modulePrefix', 'locationType']); // { modulePrefix: "'dummy'", locationType: "'auto'" }
 
// Change existing properties with #set(path, value) method. It returns true
// if set was successful or false otherwise
config.set('rootURL', "'/dev'"); // true
 
// Create a new poperty
config.set('myNewProp', '{}'); // true
 
// Change nested properties
config.set('EmberENV.EXTEND_PROTOTYPES.Date', 'true'); // true
 
// Change or create multiple properties at once
config.setProperties({ 'myNewProp.child': "'works'", 'rootURL.child': "'rootURL is not an object'" }); // { 'myNewProp.child': true, 'rootURL.child': false }
 
// Or remove properties entirely with #remove(path) method. It returns true
// if key was found and removed and false otherwise
config.remove('rootURL'); // true
 
// You can remove only child keys.
config.remove('myNewProp.child'); // true
 
// Multiple remove is available as well
config.removeProperties(['myNewProp', 'modulePrefix']); // { myNewProp: true, modulePrefix: true }
 
// After editing is done there are a few options to save result.
// The most straightforward is save to the same file.
// Notice: this method is async as well because of usage non-blocking
// fs.writeFile method
await config.save(); // will write changes to disk and return string with file content
 
// Or you can write changes to another file
await config.save('./my-addon/config/new-environment.js');
 
// See Advanced Usage section for more use cases

Built-in adapters

• environment.js
• ember-cli-build.js

Alternatives

• ember-cli-build-config-editor – uses the same approach with recast AST trees but is have many limits what you can edit and uses it owns non-Ember intuitive API. Also it moves reading and writing files to user responsibilities.
• recast – very powerful but yet very low-level tool to parse, edit and print JavaScript files. This addon wraps it to make editing much more easier.
