## 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>
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
var fs = require('fs'),
|
||||
nconf = require('nconf');
|
||||
|
||||

|
|||
console.dir(JSON.parse(data.toString()))
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Engines
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory
|
||||
A simple in-memory storage engine that stores a nested JSON representation of the configuration. To use this engine, just call `.use()` with the appropriate arguments. All calls to `.get()`, `.set()`, `.clear()`, `.reset()` methods are synchronous since we are only dealing with an in-memory object.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
nconf.use('memory');
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### File
|
||||
Based on the Memory engine, but provides additional methods `.save()` and `.load()` which allow you to read your configuration to and from file. As with the Memory store, all method calls are synchronous with the exception of `.save()` and `.load()` which take callback functions. It is important to note that setting keys in the File engine will not be persisted to disk until a call to `.save()` is made.
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
nconf.use('file', { file: 'path/to/your/config.json' });
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The file store is also extensible for multiple file formats, defaulting to `JSON`. To use a custom format, simply pass a format object to the `.use()` method. This object must have `.parse()` and `.stringify()` methods just like the native `JSON` object.
|
||||
|
||||
### Redis
|
||||
The Redis engine will persist all of your configuration settings to a Redis server. All calls to `.get()`, `.set()`, `.clear()`, `.reset()` are asynchronous taking an additional callback parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
``` js
|
||||
nconf.use('redis', { host: 'localhost', port: 6379, ttl: 60 * 60 * 1000 });
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The Redis engine also has an in-memory cache with a default TTL of one hour. To change this, just pass the `ttl` option to `.use()`.
|
||||
|
||||
## More Documentation
|
||||
There is more documentation available through docco. I haven't gotten around to making a gh-pages branch so in the meantime if you clone the repository you can view the docs:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
open docs/nconf.html
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Run Tests
|
||||
Tests are written in vows and give complete coverage of all APIs and storage engines.
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
vows test/*-test.js --spec
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
```
