Configure your Node.js Applications
===================================
[![NPM](https://nodei.co/npm/config.svg?downloads=true&downloadRank=true)](https://nodei.co/npm/config/)  
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/lorenwest/node-config.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/lorenwest/node-config)  
[release notes](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/blob/master/History.md)
Introduction
------------
Node-config organizes hierarchical configurations for your app deployments.
It lets you define a set of default parameters,
and extend them for different deployment environments (development, qa,
staging, production, etc.).
Configurations are stored in [configuration files](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Configuration-Files) within your application, and can be overridden and extended by [environment variables](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Environment-Variables),
[command line parameters](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Command-Line-Overrides), or [external sources](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Configuring-from-an-External-Source).
This gives your application a consistent configuration interface shared among a
[growing list of npm modules](https://www.npmjs.org/browse/depended/config) also using node-config.
Project Guidelines
------------------
* *Simple* - Get started fast
* *Powerful* - For multi-node enterprise deployment
* *Flexible* - Supporting multiple config file formats
* *Lightweight* - Small file and memory footprint
* *Predictable* - Well tested foundation for module and app developers
Quick Start
---------------
The following examples are in JSON format, but configurations can be in other [file formats](https://github.com/lorenwest/node-config/wiki/Configuration-Files#file-formats).
**Install in your app directory, and edit the default config file.**
```shell
$ npm install config
$ mkdir config
$ vi config/default.json
```
```js
{
// Customer module configs
"Customer": {
"dbConfig": {
"host": "localhost",
"port": 5984,
"dbName": "customers"
},
"credit": {
"initialLimit": 100,
// Set low for development
"initialDays": 1
}
}
}
```
**Edit config overrides for production deployment:**
```shell
$ vi config/production.json
```
```json
{
"Customer": {
"dbConfig": {
"host": "prod-db-server"
},
"credit": {
"initialDays": 30
}
}
}
```
**Use configs in your code:**
```js
var config = require('config');
//...
var dbConfig = config.get('Customer.dbConfig');
db.connect(dbConfig, ...);
if (config.has('optionalFeature.detail')) {
var detail = config.get('optionalFeature.detail');
//...
}
```
`config.get()` will throw an exception for undefined keys to help catch typos and missing values.
Use `config.has()` to test if a configuration value is defined.
**Start your app server:**
```shell
$ export NODE_ENV=production
$ node my-app.js
```
Running in this configuration, the `port` and `dbName` elements of `dbConfig`
will come from the `default.json` file, and the `host` element will
come from the `production.json` override file.
