Getting started

1. Install

npm install configuru

2. Create .env.jsonc in root of your project, add defaults or placeholders.

{
  // HTTP server
  "SERVER_PORT": 3000 // port the server will be listening on
}

3. (optional) As a developer (or environment), create a custom override file (e.g. ~/.env/my-project.jsonc) and save the path in your CFG_JSON_PATH.

4. Create a configuration module (e.g. config.ts)

import { createLoader, values } from 'configuru'

// create loader that cascades overrides and creates a config storage
const loader = createLoader()

// Pass configuration schema to `values` transformer to get configuration
export default values({
  server: {
    // use loader accessors, place them in custom structure
    // loader parses correct type from store
    port: loader.number('SERVER_PORT'),
  },
})

5. Use your configuration params throughout your app

import config from './config' // e.g. { server: { port: 3000 } }

console.log(config.server.port) // 3000
