# nconf
A hybrid local / remote configuration storage library for node.js.
## Installation
### Installing npm (node package manager)
<pre>
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
</pre>
### Installing nconf
<pre>
[sudo] npm install nconf
</pre>
## Usage
Using nconf is easy; it is designed to be a simple key-value store with support for both local and remote storage. Keys are namespaced and delimited by `:`. Lets dive right into sample usage:
<pre>
var fs = require('fs'),
nconf = require('nconf');
//
// Setup nconf to user the 'file' store and set a couple of values;
//
nconf.use('file', { file: 'path/to/your/config.json' });
nconf.set('database:host', '127.0.0.1');
nconf.set('database:port', 5984);
//
// Get the entire database object from nconf
//
var database = nconf.get('database');
//
// Save the configuration object to disk
//
nconf.save(function (err) {
fs.readFile('path/to/your/config.json', function (err, data) {
console.dir(JSON.parse(data.toString()))
});
});
</pre>
## Storage Engines
### Memory
### File
### Redis
## More Documentation
## Run Tests
Tests are written in vows and give complete coverage of all APIs and storage engines.
<pre>
