config-dot-json

I don't recommend you use this library, if you have the choice use a standard .env. This library was built out of necessity to solve a specific issue.

Node library for loading a json file into process.env, supports nested json files as well.

I wouldn't recommend using this in a new project. The only reason I created this is because while working on a legacy system for a client I ran into a bunch of microservices using JSON files to store their configs.

Installation

npm install --save config-dot-json

Usage

1. Import module into application const dotjson = require('config-dot-json')
2. Call load method to load config file into process.env dotjson.load()

Options

the load method accepts an options object

• filePath By default it will look for config.json in the root of your application unless path is specified.
• override If set to true, any current variables in process.env that also exist in config file will be overridden by the values in the config file. Set to false by default.

Example

index.js
config
|___ env.json

index.js

const dotjson = require('config-dot-json');

dotjson.load({ filePath:'./config/env.json });
