# Lilconfig ⚙️
[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/lilconfig.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/lilconfig)
[![install size](https://packagephobia.now.sh/badge?p=lilconfig)](https://packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=lilconfig)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/antonk52/lilconfig/badge.svg)](https://coveralls.io/github/antonk52/lilconfig)
A zero-dependency alternative to [cosmiconfig](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cosmiconfig) with the same API.
## Installation
```sh
npm install lilconfig
```
## Usage
```js
import {lilconfig, lilconfigSync} from 'lilconfig';
// all keys are optional
const options = {
stopDir: '/Users/you/some/dir',
searchPlaces: ['package.json', 'myapp.conf.js'],
ignoreEmptySearchPlaces: false
}
lilconfig(
'myapp',
options // optional
).search() // Promise<LilconfigResult>
lilconfigSync(
'myapp',
options // optional
).load(pathToConfig) // LilconfigResult
/**
* LilconfigResult
* {
* config: any; // your config
* filepath: string;
* }
*/
```
## Difference to `cosmiconfig`
Lilconfig does not intend to be 100% compatible with `cosmiconfig` but tries to mimic it where possible. The key differences are:
- **no** support for yaml files out of the box(`lilconfig` attempts to parse files with no extension as JSON instead of YAML). You can still add the support for YAML files by providing a loader, see an [example](#yaml-loader) below.
- **no** cache
### Options difference between the two.
|cosmiconfig option | lilconfig |
|------------------------|-----------|
|cache | ❌ |
|loaders | ✅ |
|ignoreEmptySearchPlaces | ✅ |
|packageProp | ✅ |
|searchPlaces | ✅ |
|stopDir | ✅ |
|transform | ✅ |
## Loaders examples
### Yaml loader
If you need the YAML support you can provide your own loader
```js
import {lilconfig} from 'lilconfig';
import yaml from 'yaml';
function loadYaml(filepath, content) {
return yaml.parse(content);
}
const options = {
loaders: {
'.yaml': loadYaml,
'.yml': loadYaml,
// loader for files with no extension
noExt: loadYaml
}
};
lilconfig('myapp', options)
.search()
.then(result => {
result // {config, filepath}
});
```
### ESM loader
Lilconfig v2 does not support ESM modules out of the box. However, you can support it with a custom a loader. Note that this will only work with the async `lilconfig` function and won't work with the sync `lilconfigSync`.
```js
import {lilconfig} from 'lilconfig';
const loadEsm = filepath => import(filepath);
lilconfig('myapp', {
loaders: {
'.js': loadEsm,
'.mjs': loadEsm,
}
})
.search()
.then(result => {
result // {config, filepath}
result.config.default // if config uses `export default`
});
```
