nano-config

A simple, dependency-free configuration helper with a nano API.

var config = require('nano-config')('./my-configuration.json');
config.greet = 'world';
config.save()

Loads my-configuration.json. If it doesn't exist it will be created when you call save.

{
	"greet": "world"
}

Okay, cool. You just saved some JSON. Who cares?

It's global

You only need to load a configuration file once. Here's some other part of your application.

var config = require('nano-config');
console.log('hello ' + config.greet);

Outputs

hello world

nano-config remembers the last config you loaded.

It's simple

nano-config doesn't depend on any modules, doesn't care about environment variables and doesn't have a verbose API.

Do you need to load a specific configuration file for a specific environment? Do it yourself.

var config = require('nano-config')('./' + process.env.NODE_ENV + '.json')

##It's flexible Custom serialization. Prefer CSON?

var CSON = require('cson');
var config = require('nano-config');
config.deserialize = function(string) {
	return CSON.parseSync(string);
}
config.serialize = function(obj) {
	return CSON.stringifySync(obj);
}
config('./my-config.cson');
