rc-toml

TOML based clone of dominictarr's rc module

Usage

const rc = require('rc-toml')
// Read config
const config = rc('app')

// Find global config file
var { configFile } = rc.select(config)
// Otherwise default to $HOME/.apprc
if (configFile == null) configFile = rc.path('app')

// Write resolve config
rc.write(config, configFile)

API

const config = rc(name, [defaults = {}], [argv], [parse])

Returns a configuration object for app name, with defaults. argv is optional, and parsed by minimist by default. parse is applied to each configuration file, and defaults to @iarna/toml. Three special properties are applied to the final configuration:

  • configs is an array of defaults and of the parsed objects from files: [defaults, file1, ...]
  • configFiles is an array of the paths to the loaded configs
  • primaryConfig is the path to the highest precedence file

Configuration is loaded and merged in the following order (most to least important):

Process:

  • argv parsed by minimist (e.g. --foo baz, also nested: --foo.bar=baz)
  • env with ${APP_NAME}_ prefix
    • use __ to indicate nested properties (e.g. appname_foo__bar__baz => foo.bar.baz)
  • --config FILE
  • CONFIG=FILE exec

Local:

  • Recursive walking up the tree for .${APP_NAME}rc

Global:

  • Look in home directory for
    • .${APP_NAME}rc
    • .${APP_NAME}config
    • .${APP_NAME}/config
    • .config/${APP_NAME}
    • .config/${APP_NAME}/config

System:

  • Look systemwide
    • /local/usr/etc/${APP_NAME}.conf
    • /local/usr/etc/${APP_NAME}rc
    • /local/usr/etc/${APP_NAME}/config
    • /etc/${APP_NAME}.conf
    • /etc/${APP_NAME}rc
    • /etc/${APP_NAME}/config

const configFile = rc.select(config, [file = rc.select.GLOBAL])

Select the config from a specific file. Pass the parsed config as config and a predicate for selecting the file. Returns { config, configFile }, however configFile is null if no path matches the file predicate.

You can pass a string as file and it will match exact. You can pass null as file to select the highest precedence file.

rc.select.SYSTEM

Predicate for selecting the highest precedence file from the system group above.

rc.select.GLOBAL

Predicate for selecting the highest precedence file from the global group above.

rc.select.LOCAL

Predicate for selecting the highest precedence file from the local group above.

const path = rc.path(name)

Return the path to $HOME/.${APP_NAME}rc

rc.write(config, configPath, [stringify])

Write config to configPath with optiona stringify. stringify defaults to @iarna/toml. Ignores keys _, configs, primaryConfig, configFiles from config.
