yaml-config-lib

Install

Run npm i yaml-config-lib --save

Example

const directory = __dirname + '/../config';
const config = require('yaml-config-lib')([
  directory + '/all.yml',                                             // Global default config
  directory + '/' + (process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development') + '.yml', // Environment default config
  directory + '/local.yml'                                            // Config for the current instance
]);

Directory structure

• config
  • .gitignore - With content /local
  • all.yml - Global default config
  • development.yml - Development default config
  • production.yml - Production default config
  • local.yml - Config for the current instance

Attention

If you overwrite a leap of a tree, the complete tree will be overwritten.

e.g.:

• Some defaults for database options in the all.yml:

database:
  connection: ''
  options:
    key: 'value'

• Overwrite only the connection part in the local.yml:

database:
  connection: 'url'

• The merged config will only have the connection part, not anymore the options part with the default options:

database:
  connection: 'url'
