inheritable-config

Configure your Node.js Applications

Introduction

inheritable-node-config is forked and extended version of Lorentwest's node-config. It provides inheritance function between config files by naming the config file name like docker:development.js. Is also allows multi extends by naming it as docker:development,docker-base.js.

Inheitance example

docker:developmet,docker-base.js inherits development.js and docker-base.js. In this case development.js is overwritten by docker-base because docker-base is right side of development.

NODE_ENV: docker:development,docker-base

./config/default.js

module.exports = {
  mongodb: {
    port: 27017 
  }
};

./config/development.js

module.exports = {
  redis: {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 2000
  },
  mongodb: {
    host: 'localhost'
  }
};

./config/docker-base.js

module.exports = {
  redis: {
    host: 'redis'
  },
  mongodb: {
    host: 'mongo'
  }
};

./config/docker:development,docker-base.js

module.exports = {
  label: 'docker:dev'
};

index.js

var config = require('inheritable-config');
 
console.log(config);
/*
{
  label: 'docker:dev',
  redis: {
    host: 'redis',
    port: 2000
  },
  mongodb: {
    host: 'mongo',
