Resource-parser

Parse a JSON resource file or object using .env file and process.env. This module allows you to refer to environment variables or keys in the object itself. References are searched for in all strings of the object. A string can contain one or more references.

Install

npm i --save resource-parser

    If resource is a relative path or an object with "imports" key, you must provide a dirpath as second argument
*/
const config = resourceParser('./config.json');

Express usage

const resourceParser = require('resource-parser');
const express = require('express');
 
// ...
 
const app = express();
 
/* 
    will add "config" key to "req" object
    Config data is parsed during app loading and will be cloned for each request
*/
app.use(resourceParser.middleware('config.json'));

config.json

{
    "database": {
        "name": "{DB_NAME}"
    },
    "homeDir": "{HOME}/app",
    "publicDir": "{homeDir}/public"
}

Load resource with import resources

const resourceParser = require('resource-parser');
 
const config = resourceParser('config.json');

config.json

{
    "imports": [
        "parameters.json"
    ],
    "database": {
        "name": "{DB_NAME}"
    },
    "publicDir": "{parameters.homeDir}/public"
}

parameters.json

{
    "imports": [
        
    ],
    "database": {
        "host": "{DB_HOST || localhost}"
    },
    "parameters": {
        "homeDir": "{HOME}/app"
    }

    key: 'value'
};
