**miconfig** — Configuration loader for Node.js, browsers & Deno.
## Features
- **Easy**: Designed for situations where a PhD into load configurations is infeasible.
- **Lightweight**: no bloat, less than 1KB with all dependencies.
- **Isomorphic**: Compatible with Node.js, browsers & Deno.
- **Flexible**: Super easy load any kind of configuration.
- **Simple**: The whole module is ~50 lines of code.
## Install
```bash
$ npm install miconfig --save
```
## Usage
In **miconfig**, a configuration is identified by environment name.
### Load Configuration Files
Place the configuration files wherever you desire, e.g., in a folder called `config`:
```bash
.
├── index.js
└── config
├── default.js
├── production.js
├── staging.js
└── test.js
```
Then, load them using **miconfig**:
```js
const loadConfig = require('miconfig')
const FILES = [
'default',
NODE_ENV === 'development' ? undefined : NODE_ENV
].filter(Boolean)
const environment = FILES.reduce((acc, key) => {
acc[key] = require(`./config/${key}`)
return acc
}, {})
const config = loadConfig(environment)
```
In case you want to use a different file format (like YAML), you've to parser them before be loaded:
```js
const environment = FILES.reduce((acc, key) => {
acc[key] = fromYaml(`./config/${key}.yml`)
return acc
}, {})
```
The `default` configuration is always loaded and merged with the target configuration environment.
**miconfig** uses `process.env.NODE_ENV` to determine what configuration should be loaded.
In case you want to use a different source of truth, you can pass it as second argument:
```js
const loadConfig = require('miconfig')
const config = loadConfig(
{
default: require('./config/default'),
production: require('./config/default')
},
process.env.APP_ENV
)
```
### Accessing to configuration
After **miconfig** loads your configuration, you can safely access to any value.
#### Safe access
```js
// read a value, don't care if it's empty
const database = config.get('database.url')
```
#### Safe access + default value
```js
// read a value, use a default if empty
const database = config.get('database.url', 'localhost')
```
#### Require access
```js
// read a value, throw an error if it doesn't exist
const database = config.require('database.url')
```
#### Typecheck access
```js
// check if a value exists
if (config.has('feature.prerender')) {
console.log('prerender is enabled')
}
```
Additionally, you can retrieve more than one value at one time with destructuring assignment:
#### Destructuring safe access
```js
// read multiple values, don't care if it's empty
const { timezone, database } = config
```
#### Destructuring require access
```js
// read multiple values, throw an error if one of them doesn't exist
const { timezone, database } = config.required
```
