An very easy to user ini file parser and serializer for node.js

Installation

npm install --save ezini

Usage

const ini = require("ezini");

parse(str, callback)

ini.parse(str, (obj) => {
    console.log(obj)
})

or use the synchronize version parseSync(str)

stringify(obj, callback)

ini.stringify(obj, (str) => {
    console.log(str)
})

or use the synchronize version stringifySync(obj)

Example

Giving a example ini file foobar.ini which looks like this:

[owner]
name=John Do
organization=Acme eProducts
rich=true
richStr="true"


[database]
server=192.0.2.42
; use IP address in case network name resolution is not working
port=143
portStr="143"
file = "acme payroll.dat"

You can parse this ini file like this:

str = fs.readFileSync(".foobar"), "utf-8")
ini.parse(strINI, (obj) => {
    console.log(obj)
})

and then obj would looks like this:

{ owner: 
   { name: 'John Do',
     organization: 'Acme eProducts',
     rich: true,
     richStr: 'true' },
  database: 
   { server: '192.0.2.42',
     port: 143,
     portStr: '143',
     file: 'acme payroll.dat' } }

You can also stringify the object:

ini.stringify(obj, (str) => {
    console.log(str)
})

str would looks like this:

[owner]
name=John Do
organization=Acme eProducts
rich=true
richStr="true"

[database]
server=192.0.2.42
port=143
portStr="143"
file=acme payroll.dat
