Intro

Why not config?

Answer. TL;DR: config separates data to different files based on NODE_ENV, not resources.

$ npm install no-config

Quick start

// config.js
module.exports = {
	redis: {
		init: function (params) {
			return require('redis').createClient(params)
		},
		default: {
			db: 0,
			port: 6379
		},
		development: {
			host: '127.0.0.1'
		},
		production: {
			db: 1,
			host: '192.168.0.10'
		}
	}
}

// index.js
require('no-config')({
	config: require('./config')
}).then(
	function(conf) {
		console.log('ENV', conf.env)
		console.log('Redis:', conf.redis.host+':'+conf.redis.port)
		conf.redis.instance.set('hello', 'world')
	}
)

$ NODE_ENV=development node index.js
ENV development
Redis: 127.0.0.1:6379

Quick start (ES6)

Since no-config returns a promise it is much better to use ES6 generators, arrow functions and co.
If you are not familiar with co, check this step-by-step tutorial

// config.js
module.exports = {
	redis: {
		init: params => require('redis').createClient(params),
		default: {
			db: 0,
			port: 6379
		},
		development: {
			host: '127.0.0.1'
		},
		production: {
			db: 1,
			host: '192.168.0.10'
		}
	}
}

// index.js
'use strict'
const co = require('co')
co(function* () {
	let config = require('./config')
	let conf = yield require('no-config')({config})

	console.log('ENV', conf.env)
	console.log('Redis:', conf.redis.host+':'+conf.redis.port)
	conf.redis.instance.set('hello', 'world')
})

API

Loader

require('no-config')(parameters)

Loads resources from parameters.config based on NODE_ENV environment variable. Returns a Promise which resolves ones all resources are initialized.

Parameters

Configuration object

Every high-level key in configuration object is a resource name.
