Getting started

betterconf support .conf file with the Hocon specs. Here a short sample with dev and prod conf:

# config.dev.conf
{
  env = ${NODE_ENV} # development
  database {
    provider = "sqlite"
    url      = "file:./dev.db"
  }
}

# config.prod.conf
{
  env = ${NODE_ENV} # production
  database {
    provider = "postgres"
    url      = "postgresql://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres"
  }
}

Add betterconf to your package's scripts (Next.js example here):

"scripts": {
  "dev": "betterconf run -r='config.dev.conf' -w='src/config.ts' -- next dev",
  "build": "betterconf run -r='config.prod.conf' -w='src/config.ts' -- next build",
  ...
}

And use it anywhere from your code source:

import { config } from "./config"

console.log(config.env)               // "development"
console.log(config.database.provider) // "sqlite"
console.log(config.database.url)      // "file:./dev.db"
