example-confippet-hapijs

• This repo is an example hapi.js app with electrode-confippet module fully integrated
• The step-by-step instructions on building it from scratch can be found below

Electrode Confippet

• electrode-confippet is a versatile utility for managing your NodeJS application configuration. Its goal is customization and extensibility, but offers a preset config out of the box.

Hapijs Server

Install

• Create a hapi app using the following commands:

mkdir hapiApp
cd hapiApp
npm init
npm install hapi --save
npm install inert --save

Server

• Create a server.js file using this code:

'use strict';

const Hapi = require('hapi');
const Path = require('path');
const Inert = require('inert');
const server = new Hapi.Server({
  connections: {
    routes: {
      files: {
        relativeTo: Path.join(__dirname, 'public')
      }
    }
  }
});
const config = {
  connection: {
    port: 3000
  }
};

server.connection(config.connection);
server.register(Inert, () => {});
server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/{param*}',
  handler: {
    directory: {
      path: '.',
      redirectToSlash: true,
      index: true
    }
  }
});
server.route({
  method: 'GET',
  path: '/',
  handler: function (request, reply) {
    reply('Hapijs Server Running...');
  }
});

server.start((error) => {
  if (error) {
    throw error;
  }
  console.log(`hapijs server running @ ${server.info.uri}`);
});

Electrode Confippet

Install

npm install electrode-confippet --save

Configure

• Create the config folder:

mkdir config
cd config

• Add the following config files:

config
|_ default.json
|_ development.json
|_ production.json

• Add your configuration settings

Default

• Update the config/default.json to have the following settings:

{
  "connection": {
    "port": 3000
  }
}

Development environment

• Update the config/development.json to have the following settings:

{
  "connection": {
    "port": 4000
  }
}

• The above settings run the server in port 4000

Production environment

• Update the config/production.json to have the following settings:

{
  "connection": {
    "port": 8000
  }
}

• The above settings run the server in port 8000
• Keys that exist in the config/default.json that are also in the other environment configs will be replaced by the environment specific versions

Usage

• Replace the config line with the following in server.js:

const config = require("electrode-confippet").config;

Run

• Start the hapijs app in development environment:

NODE_ENV=development npm start

• Start the hapijs app in production environment:

NODE_ENV=production npm start

• Running in the selected environment should load the appropriate configuration settings
