Balloons.IO Configuration

There are two methods allowed for configuration: environment variables or writing a config.json file.

Inheritance

1. Environment (env.js)
2. config.json

The above list means that environment configuration variables will override those from config.json file.

Install

From file

1. Copy config.sample.json to config.json.
2. Set Twitter and/or Facebook application keys. Check README.md for a detailed description on this.
3. Run node balloons.js at the root of this application.

From environment variables

1. Define your variables like this: PORT=8000
2. Run node balloons.js at the root of this application.

There are different ways to define environment variables with node. Use the one that fits you best.

Notes

1. We should have a default.js in the config inheritance. With this we may free env.js from all the this || that ugly definitions.
