const nodeConfigService = require('node-config-service');

console.log(process.env);

NodeConfigService is a node module used to manage a set of config variables that are dependent upon node environmental variables set on the server.

Merge several configuration sources into a portable get method used throughout the app.

Before starting, download and install Node.js. Node.js 14.0 or higher is required. Git is required to contribute to the project.

Optional tools include install yarn if desired. $ npm install --global yarn

NodeConfigService is a Node.js module available through the npm and yarn package registries.

If you have not already done so, create a package.json for your project with the npm init or the yarn init command.

Including this module using the npm install or the yarn install command:

In a terminal, type :

$ npm install node-config-service --save-dev
# or
$ yarn add node-config-service --dev

• Define config params in a json file.
• Load config variables with node env params, pass them programmatically, or load them from asynchronous sources.

Process environmental variables can be set in a number of ways including the command line interface, in the package.json and using .env files in the root of your project.

Under the hood NodeConfigService uses Dotenv to populate the node process.env object with the defined variables.

require('node-config-service');

console.log(process.env);

Dotenv-expand adds variable expansion on top of dotenv . This allows the use of simple and complex examples of variable expansion in your .env file.

NodeJS Config Service.

Simplified config management for node applications. NodeConfigService accepts a configuration object of properties to be defined using the node process env and run time overrides.
