Really Bad Configs

A module to turn configuration storage into living hell.

Usage

npm i really-bad-configs

Create a directory to hold your configuration's key-value pairs. Remember, each file holds a key-value pair, so that the name of the file will be the key and the contents will be the value.

Once you have that directory, pass it through the load function:

const { load } = require('really-bad-configs');
// or: const loadConfig = require('really-bad-configs').load;
// or simply: const rbc = require('really-bad-configs');

const config = load({ location: 'path/to/the/config/dir' });
console.log(config);

API

load ({ location })

Loads a configuration. Expects an object with a location property that specifies the directory that contains the key-value pairs. It returns an object.

const config = load({ location: '.config' });

lookup (location, key)

Looks up a value based on config location and key. Returns the contents of the file if it exists. Otherwise, it returns undefined.

const databaseUser = lookup('.config', 'DATABASE_USER');

createKey (location, key, value)

Creates a key-value pair in the specified location (if it doesn't already exist). It returns true if it succeded, false if the location doesn't exist or the value is an object, throws for any other issue.

createKey('.config', 'DATABASE_USER', 'testuser');

createMultiple (location, configObject)

Creates a key-value pair for an entire config object. Useful for converting your old, lame, JSON-based configs into RBCs. It returns true if it has succeded, throws if something bad happened. It uses the createKey method.

createMultiple('.config', {
  DATABASE_HOST: 'localhost',
  DATABASE_USER: 'testuser'
});
