How do i get the configuration defined in application.json and middleware.json?

[linhmtran168]

Suppose I want to put some custom configurations in app.json or middleware.json.
Currently I can use nconf to get them like this:

var nconf = require('nconf');
var sessionSettings = nconf.get('middleware:session');

But is there a better way to do this?

Your configure handler will be passed the configuration loaded from the ./config directory.

Example:

var app = {
    configure: function (config, callback) {
        sessionSettings = config.get('middleware:session');
        callback();
    }
};

See: lifecycle.

But how can I get the configuration from my controller?

Using nconf like you would in an express app.
Here's a quick example to get you started: https://github.com/lmarkus/Kraken_Example_Configuration

Take a look at ./index.js for the general configuration and ./controllers/index.js for controller-based configuration.

I'll flesh out the Readme once we're back from the holiday break.
