A personal implemention of the popular config library on NPM
npm i config-tiny
or
yarn add config-tiny
You can also fork the project on github at https://github.com/iamnasirudeen/config.tiny
Create a config folder in the root directory of your project and create a file inside the folder named default.json.
e.g
cd `path/to/project/` && mkdir config && cd config && touch default.json
The code above helps you create a config folder and also a default.json file inside the folder then you can use it like this.
The content of the default.json
file should look like the one below.
{
"data": {
"email": "iamnasirudeen@gmail.com"
},
"github_handle": "iamnasirudeen",
"port": 3000
}
Then
const config = require("config-tiny");
let port = config.get("port") || process.env.PORT;
You can also check the validity of a string before getting the value using the config.has
function. e.g
const config = require("config-tiny");
// Note: config.has function returns a boolean of true/false
// using ternary operator
const port = config.has("port") ? config.get("port") : 3000;
// using if statement
if (config.has("data.email")) {
// do anything with your value here
let email = config.get("data.email");
}
The Config folder has to be in the root directory of your project as config uses the nodejs process.cwd()
API to locate the root directory of the config folder.
config.tiny
doesnt really support nested objects a future version would have this feature supported.
e.g
config.get("data.email"); // iamnasirudeen@gmail.com
config.get("data"); // {email: "iamnasirudeen@gmail.com"}
config.get("github_handle"); // iamnasirudeen
config.tiny can be used to save environment keys. It can be used in replace of DotEnv.
Contributors are also allowed. You can hit me up at iamnasirudeen@gmail.com.
