confe

Simple config file management.

Top level keys that include the special "extends" key will include, and overwrite, keys from that top level key. This process is recursive.

The two required arguments can be set via the enviroment variables;

• NODE_CONFIG_FILE
• NODE_ENV

or provided inline (in order);

• path to config file
• top level key name

Installation

$ npm install -g confe
