# configstore [](https://travis-ci.org/yeoman/configstore)
|
|
|
|
> Easily load and persist config without having to think about where and how
|
|
|
|
Config is stored in a JSON file located in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` or `~/.config`.<br>
|
|
Example: `~/.config/configstore/some-id.json`
|
|
|
|
*If you need this for Electron, check out [`electron-store`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/electron-store) instead.*
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const Configstore = require('configstore');
|
|
const pkg = require('./package.json');
|
|
|
|
// create a Configstore instance with an unique ID e.g.
|
|
// Package name and optionally some default values
|
|
const conf = new Configstore(pkg.name, {foo: 'bar'});
|
|
|
|
console.log(conf.get('foo'));
|
|
//=> 'bar'
|
|
|
|
conf.set('awesome', true);
|
|
console.log(conf.get('awesome'));
|
|
//=> true
|
|
|
|
// Use dot-notation to access nested properties
|
|
conf.set('bar.baz', true);
|
|
console.log(conf.get('bar'));
|
|
//=> {baz: true}
|
|
|
|
conf.delete('awesome');
|
|
console.log(conf.get('awesome'));
|
|
//=> undefined
|
|
```
|
|

## API
|
|
|
|
### Configstore(packageName, [defaults], [options])
|
|
|
|
Returns a new instance.
|
|
|
|
#### packageName
|
|
|
|
Type: `string`
|
|
|
|
Name of your package.
|
|
|
|
#### defaults
|
|
|
|
Type: `Object`
|
|
|
|
Default config.
|
|
|
|
#### options
|
|
|
|
##### globalConfigPath
|
|
|
|
Type: `boolean`<br>
|
|
Default: `false`
|
|
|
|
Store the config at `$CONFIG/package-name/config.json` instead of the default `$CONFIG/configstore/package-name.json`. This is not recommended as you might end up conflicting with other tools, rendering the "without having to think" idea moot.
|
|
|
|
### Instance
|
|
|
|
You can use [dot-notation](https://github.com/sindresorhus/dot-prop) in a `key` to access nested properties.
|
|
|
|
### .set(key, value)
|
|
|
|
Set an item.
|
|
|
|
### .set(object)
|
|
|
|
Set multiple items at once.
|
|
|
|
### .get(key)
|
|
|
|
Get an item.
|
|
|
|
### .has(key)
|
|
|
|
Check if an item exists.
|
|
|
|
### .delete(key)
|
|
|
|
Delete an item.
|
|
|
|
### .clear()
|
|
|
|
Delete all items.
|
|
|
|
### .size
|
|
|
|
Get the item count.
|
|
|
|
### .path
|
|
|
|
Get the path to the config file. Can be used to show the user where the config file is located or even better open it for them.
|
|
|
|
### .all
|
|
|
|
Get all the config as an object or replace the current config with an object:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
conf.all = {
|
|
hello: 'world'
|
|
};
|
|
```
