## Install

1. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)
2. Install [yargs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yargs) and [yargs-command-config](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yargs-command-config) via `npm `

```
npm install --save yargs yargs-command-config
```

For the latest developer version, see [Developer Install](#developer-install).

## Usage

Create a file named `bin.js` with the following contents:

```javascript
var yargs = require('yargs');

// (config) Load command with path to config JSON file
// Replace './path/to/config.json' with your config JSON file
var config = require('yargs-command-config')({file: './path/to/config.json'});

// (yargs) Add command to manage config file
var argv = yargs.command(config).argv;
```

Display help options for `bin.js` using [node](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html):

```
node bin.js config help
```

The following will be displayed:

```
bin config [key] [value] [--config]

manage default config

is one of:

* set
* delete
* view
* clear
* reset

Set option to value
> set [key] [value]

Remove default option
> delete [key]

View default options
> view

Clear default options
> clear

Reset default options
> reset

Manage other config file
> set [key] [value] --config other.json
> delete [key] --config other.json
> view --config other.json
> clear --config other.json
> reset --config other.json

Options:
--help Show help [boolean]
```

Default config files are managed with the commands below:

```
node bin.js config view
node bin.js config clear
node bin.js config reset
node bin.js config set key value
node bin.js config delete key
```

Other config files are managed by passing a path in the option `--config`:

```
node bin.js config view --config config.json
node bin.js config clear --config config.json
node bin.js config reset --config config.json
node bin.js config set key value --config config.json
node bin.js config delete key --config config.json
```
