configstore

Easily load and persist config without having to think about where and how.

Config is stored in a YAML file to make it simple for users to edit the config directly themselves. The file is located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config. Eg: ~/.config/configstore/id-of-your-choosing.yml

Usage

var Configstore = require('configstore');
var packageName = require('./package').name;

// Init a Configstore instance with an unique ID eg. package name
// and optionally some default values
var conf = new Configstore(packageName, { foo: 'bar' });

conf.set('awesome', true);
console.log(conf.get('awesome'));  // true
console.log(conf.get('foo'));      // bar

conf.del('awesome');
console.log(conf.get('awesome'));  // undefined
