Basic Yaml Loading with additional functionality, i.e. resolve file depedencies, resolve variables, deep merge hierachies.

Useful for loading improved [serverless](https://serverless.com/) configuration. For yaml loading this package uses [js-yaml](https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml).

## Getting Started

    $ npm install --save yaml-boost

## Api

### resolve(refPath, content, vars)

Resolve content with variables at given refPath.

### async load(filePath, vars = {})

Load filePath with given variables.

Note that this function is asynchronous.

### dump

As provided by `js-yaml` through `safeDump`

## Usage

```js

import { load } from 'yaml-boost';

load('config.yaml');

```

Matching `yaml.dump()` function is also available.

### Variable and File Resolution

Works identical to how this is defined for serverless [here](https://serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/variables/).

Both `yml` and `yaml` file endings are supported.

#### Extensions

##### Bake variables when loading files

```

${file(./path/to/file.yml), key1=value1&key2=value2}

```

##### Reference Packages

You can reference packages by using

```

${require(PACKAGE):path.to.key.in.module}

```

##### Reference Js files

Reference js instead of yaml files.

```

${file(./path/to/file.js)}

```

The reference file needs to export simple object containing configuration

```js

export default {};

```

##### Reference Function inside Js file

Reference function inside js file.

```

${fileFn(./path/to/file.js)}

```

The reference file needs to export simple function returning an object. Available variables are passed in.

```js

export default (args) => ({ args });

```

##### Relative File References

Once can reference files relative to the current file by using `^` as a prefix like so

```

${file(^/subfolder/of/current/file.yml)}

```

##### Deep Merge

Analogue to the `<<` yaml syntax we can use `<<<` to deep merge into the current nesting level.

This is helpful when merging files into already existing hierarchies.

Example:

```

data:

  - list entry one

<<<:

  - data:

      - list entry two

  - other: things

```

results in

```

data:

  - list entry one

  - list entry two

other: things

```

## Serverless Example

Define `serverless.js` as

```js

import path from 'path';

import minimist from 'minimist';

import { load } from 'yaml-boost';

const cfg = await load(path.join(__dirname, 'serverless.core.yml'), minimist(process.argv.slice(2)));

export default cfg;

```

Then instead of defining `serverless.yml`, define your config in `serverless.core.yml`.
