Configuration loading

One of the key aspects of a Thorin application is the way it loads the configuration data from various sources, based on the environment it is launched in. A configuration source is a place from which we can read and parse data, that our application will later use as configuration. Out of the box, Thorin offers two configuration sources: disk and sconfig. When you start your application, Thorin will automatically look for configuration under config/{entryFile}.js and config/env/{environment}.js

You can add additional configuration sources by calling the thorin.addConfig(name, opt, _fn) function.

In order to get started with sconfig.io, please follow the steps on the official repo.

Disk loader options

• pathstring* the path of the file to load, including extension. Current extensions: json, js
• absoluteboolean, false if set to true, use the full path, otherwise use thorin.root + path
• requiredboolean, true should the app be shutdown if we cannot load this source

SConfig loader options

• keystring*The 32-char API key or the long access token
• secretstringWhen used with the 32-char API key, the sconfig application's secret key.
• versionstring, latestThe configuration version to load from sconfig.io

Example

'use strict';
const thorin = require('thorin');
thorin
   .addConfig('disk', {
      path: 'config/custom.js'  // loaded from app/config/custom.js
   })
   .addConfig('sconfig', {
      key: '{32-char API key}',
      secret: '{32-char API Secret}',
      version: 'latest'
   })
   .run();
