# npmconf
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The config thing npm uses
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are interested in interacting with the config settings that npm
|
||
|
|
uses, then use this module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, if you are writing a new Node.js program, and want
|
||
|
|
configuration functionality similar to what npm has, but for your
|
||
|
|
own thing, then I'd recommend using [rc](https://github.com/dominictarr/rc),
|
||
|
|
which is probably what you want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If I were to do it all over again, that's what I'd do for npm. But,
|
||
|
|
alas, there are many systems depending on many of the particulars of
|
||
|
|
npm's configuration setup, so it's not worth the cost of changing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## USAGE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```javascript
|
||
|
|
var npmconf = require('npmconf')
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
// pass in the cli options that you read from the cli
|
||
|
|
// or whatever top-level configs you want npm to use for now.
|
||
|
|
npmconf.load({some:'configs'}, function (er, conf) {
|
||
|
|
// do stuff with conf
|
||
|
|
conf.get('some', 'cli') // 'configs'
|
||
|
|
conf.get('username') // 'joebobwhatevers'
|
||
|
|
conf.set('foo', 'bar', 'user')
|
||
|
|
conf.save('user', function (er) {
|
||
|
|
// foo = bar is now saved to ~/.npmrc or wherever
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
})
|
||
|
|
```
