node-config-boilerplate

Scalable node.js application config template.

Get started

Clone this repo inside of your app folder:

app-folder:~$ git clone git@github.com:voronianski/node-config-boilerplate.git config

Create configs for every of your app environment just putting the env name as prefix of the file name:

app-folder/config:~$ ls -a

production.config.js
development.config.js
stage.config.js
test.config.js

etc.

Use it inside of your application:

var express = require('express');

// this will require necessary config for your env
var config = require('./config');

var app = express();

app.listen(config.http.port);

Template tags

You are able to use tags like $(configProperty.childProperty) to point to specific properties of config:

module.exports = {
    name: 'BLITZKRIEG BOP!',
    http: {
        port: process.env.PORT || 8080,
        url: process.env.URL || 'http://0.0.0.0:$(http.port)'
    }
};
