1. As far as I know, there is only one module for YAML - "js-yaml". Others unfortunately are incomplete.

2. No. Node.js core is just a core, and it's pretty much useless without modules.

3. Well... here is one: https://github.com/rlidwka/sinopia/blob/master/package.yaml

If you still think it's too complex, by all means use JSON5 instead.

Ok, ok...
I agree with that, I also hate some of those details!

But then:
1) I found far too many modules for YAML, any recomendations?
2) is there a built-in version? I found some confusing comments about that
3) It apears that YAML *can* be more complex than JSON, where can I get some examples of simple (and not so simple) config files with YAML?

Thanks,
Alain

1. you can't store comments there, it is mandatory feature for every config file
2. you can't use trailing comma, so it's awful for line-based version control
3. double quotes... unquoted keys... oh come on, it's unreadable (still better than xml though)
4. ...
5. ... seriously, I can write several pages about what is wrong with JSON if you want
Even npm does not use it for storing config. It uses .ini format instead. Guess why.

Could you please explain why?
It really seems to be the simplest method, used inclusive by npn itselt...

Every time you write config file using JSON format, God kills a kitten.

Seriously, stop that. This is what YAML is for.

28.12.2013, 03:33, "Austin William Wright" <[email protected]>:
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.

Hello, this morning I was pondering on a good way to store passwords server-side to be used by a Node app. I would like to publish the app's code on GitHub but obviously would not want to publish my passwords ...

One method I have seen before was to add passwords to the environment vars in the server's local .bash_profile, and then have the Node app access these env vars in the code. Could this be a sufficient (and secure) way?

Thanks,
Reginald
