Set configurations for reporters directly inside reporterOptions

[AlehVasilyeu]

It would be great to set configurations for reporters directly inside reporterOptions.

Expected behavior

Pass all configuration in reporterOptions instead specifying reporterOptions.configFile

Actual behavior

Need to create config.json

Hi @AlehVasilyeu,

Thank you for your suggestions, that's a good idea to pass options directly instead of specifying an external config.json file

Do you have any proposal?

CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION w/ CONFIG.JSON

$ ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --reporter mocha-multi-reporters --reporter-options configFile=config.json

// File: config.json
{
    "reporterEnabled": "tap, xunit",
    "xunitReporterOptions": {
        "output": "xunit-custom.xml"
    }
}

Hi @stanleyhlng,

Mocha can get reporter options programatically

var mocha = new Mocha({
  reporter: 'mocha-multi-reporters',
  reporterOptions: {
    ...
  }
});

What if reporterOptions will be configured like this:

reporterOptions: 
   config: [
     {
        reporter: "reporter1",
        reporterOptions: { }
     },
     {
        reporter: "reporter2",
        reporterOptions: { }
     }
   ],
   // config.js is alternative name, `configFile` uses by default if `config` is not defined
   configFile: "config.json"

And maybe somehow combine with previous implementation, so it will be possible to use CLI also.

What do you think? :)

Is there any way to supply the additional options via the CLI as well?
