Just use a configuration file, it can be as easy as require()ing a JSON
file:
var config = require('./config.json');
var db = database.connect(config.host, config.user, config.password);
Then add an config.example.json to your repo, and add config.json to your
.gitignore.
You may also wish to read the configuration file location out of an
environment variable, or your command line arguments:
var configFilename = process.env.NODE_CONF || 'config.json';
var config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(configFilename, 'utf8'));
/* etc */
Cheers,
Austin Wright.
