# cosmiconfig
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://codecov.io/gh/cosmiconfig/cosmiconfig)
|
||||
|
||||
Cosmiconfig searches for and loads configuration for your program.
|
||||
|
||||
It features smart defaults based on conventional expectations in the JavaScript ecosystem.
|
||||
But it's also flexible enough to search wherever you'd like to search, and load whatever you'd like to load.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Cosmiconfig will check the current directory for the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- a `package.json` property
|
||||
- a JSON or YAML, extensionless "rc file"
|
||||
- an "rc file" with the extensions `.json`, `.yaml`, `.yml`, `.js`, `.ts`, `.mjs`, or `.cjs`
|
||||
- any of the above two inside a `.config` subdirectory
|
||||
- a `.config.js`, `.config.ts`, `.config.mjs`, or `.config.cjs` file
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if your module's name is "myapp", cosmiconfig will search up the directory tree for configuration in the following places:
|
||||
|
||||
- a `myapp` property in `package.json`
|
||||
- a `.myapprc` file in JSON or YAML format
|
||||
- a `.myapprc.json`, `.myapprc.yaml`, `.myapprc.yml`, `.myapprc.js`, `.myapprc.ts`, `.myapprc.mjs`, or `.myapprc.cjs` file
|
||||
- a `myapprc`, `myapprc.json`, `myapprc.yaml`, `myapprc.yml`, `myapprc.js`, `myapprc.ts`, `myapprc.mjs`, or `myapprc.cjs` file inside a `.config` subdirectory
|
||||
- a `myapp.config.js`, `myapp.config.ts`, `myapp.config.mjs`, or `myapp.config.cjs` file
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, you can tell it to search up the directory tree using [search strategies],
|
||||
checking each of these places in each directory, until it finds some acceptable configuration (or hits the home directory).

|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
npm install cosmiconfig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Tested in Node 14+.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage for tooling developers
|
||||
|
||||
*If you are an end user (i.e. a user of a tool that uses cosmiconfig, like `prettier` or `stylelint`),
|
||||
you can skip down to [the end user section](#usage-for-end-users).*
|
||||
|
||||
Create a Cosmiconfig explorer, then either `search` for or directly `load` a configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { cosmiconfig, cosmiconfigSync } = require('cosmiconfig');
|
||||
// ...
|
||||
const explorer = cosmiconfig(moduleName);
|
||||
|
||||
// Search for a configuration by walking up directories.
|
||||
// See documentation for search, below.
|
||||
explorer.search()
|
||||
.then((result) => {
|
||||
// result.config is the parsed configuration object.
|
||||
// result.filepath is the path to the config file that was found.
|
||||
// result.isEmpty is true if there was nothing to parse in the config file.
|
||||
})
|
||||
.catch((error) => {
|
||||
// Do something constructive.
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Load a configuration directly when you know where it should be.
|
||||
// The result object is the same as for search.
|
||||
// See documentation for load, below.
|
||||
explorer.load(pathToConfig).then(/* ... */);
|
||||
|
||||
// You can also search and load synchronously.
|
||||
const explorerSync = cosmiconfigSync(moduleName);
|
||||
|
||||
const searchedFor = explorerSync.search();
|
||||
const loaded = explorerSync.load(pathToConfig);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Result
|
||||
|
||||
The result object you get from `search` or `load` has the following properties:
|
||||
|
||||
- **config:** The parsed configuration object. `undefined` if the file is empty.
|
||||
- **filepath:** The path to the configuration file that was found.
|
||||
- **isEmpty:** `true` if the configuration file is empty. This property will not be present if the configuration file is not empty.
|
||||
|
||||
## Asynchronous API
|
||||
|
||||
### cosmiconfig()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { cosmiconfig } = require('cosmiconfig');
|
||||
const explorer = cosmiconfig(moduleName, /* optional */ cosmiconfigOptions)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a cosmiconfig instance ("explorer") configured according to the arguments, and initializes its caches.
|
||||
|
||||
#### moduleName
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `string`. **Required.**
|
||||
|
||||
Your module name. This is used to create the default [`searchPlaces`] and [`packageProp`].
|
||||
|
||||
If your [`searchPlaces`] value will include files, as it does by default (e.g. `${moduleName}rc`), your `moduleName` must consist of characters allowed in filenames. That means you should not copy scoped package names, such as `@my-org/my-package`, directly into `moduleName`.
|
||||
|
||||
**[`cosmiconfigOptions`] are documented below.**
|
||||
You may not need them, and should first read about the functions you'll use.
|
||||
|
||||
### explorer.search()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
explorer.search([searchFrom]).then(result => { /* ... */ })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Searches for a configuration file. Returns a Promise that resolves with a [result] or with `null`, if no configuration file is found.
|
||||
|
||||
You can do the same thing synchronously with [`explorerSync.search()`].
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say your module name is `goldengrahams` so you initialized with `const explorer = cosmiconfig('goldengrahams');`.
|
||||
Here's how your default [`search()`] will work:
|
||||
|
||||
- Starting from `process.cwd()` (or some other directory defined by the `searchFrom` argument to [`search()`]), look for configuration objects in the following places:
|
||||
1. A `goldengrahams` property in a `package.json` file.
|
||||
2. A `.goldengrahamsrc` file with JSON or YAML syntax.
|
||||
3. A `.goldengrahamsrc.json`, `.goldengrahamsrc.yaml`, `.goldengrahamsrc.yml`, `.goldengrahamsrc.js`, `.goldengrahamsrc.ts`, `.goldengrahamsrc.mjs`, or `.goldengrahamsrc.cjs` file. (To learn more about how JS files are loaded, see ["Loading JS modules"].)
|
||||
4. A `goldengrahamsrc`, `goldengrahamsrc.json`, `goldengrahamsrc.yaml`, `goldengrahamsrc.yml`, `goldengrahamsrc.js`, `goldengrahamsrc.ts`, `goldengrahamsrc.mjs`, or `goldengrahamsrc.cjs` file in the `.config` subdirectory.
|
||||
5. A `goldengrahams.config.js`, `goldengrahams.config.ts`, `goldengrahams.config.mjs`, or `goldengrahams.config.cjs` file. (To learn more about how JS files are loaded, see ["Loading JS modules"].)
|
||||
- If none of those searches reveal a configuration object, continue depending on the current search strategy:
|
||||
- If it's `none` (which is the default if you don't specify a [`stopDir`] option), stop here and return/resolve with `null`.
|
||||
- If it's `global` (which is the default if you specify a [`stopDir`] option), move up one directory level and try again,
|
||||
recursing until arriving at the configured [`stopDir`] option, which defaults to the user's home directory.
|
||||
- After arriving at the [`stopDir`], the global configuration directory (as defined by [`env-paths`] without prefix) is also checked,
|
||||
looking at the files `config`, `config.json`, `config.yaml`, `config.yml`, `config.js`, `config.ts`, `config.cjs`, and `config.mjs`
|
||||
in the directory `~/.config/goldengrahams/` (on Linux; see [`env-paths`] documentation for other OSs).
|
||||
- If it's `project`, check whether a `package.json` file is present in the current directory, and if not,
|
||||
move up one directory level and try again, recursing until there is one.
|
||||
- If at any point a parsable configuration is found, the [`search()`] Promise resolves with its [result] \(or, with [`explorerSync.search()`], the [result] is returned).
|
||||
- If no configuration object is found, the [`search()`] Promise resolves with `null` (or, with [`explorerSync.search()`], `null` is returned).
|
||||
- If a configuration object is found *but is malformed* (causing a parsing error), the [`search()`] Promise rejects with that error (so you should `.catch()` it). (Or, with [`explorerSync.search()`], the error is thrown.)
|
||||
|
||||
**If you know exactly where your configuration file should be, you can use [`load()`], instead.**
|
||||
|
||||
**The search process is highly customizable.**
|
||||
Use the cosmiconfig options [`searchPlaces`] and [`loaders`] to precisely define where you want to look for configurations and how you want to load them.
|
||||
|
||||
#### searchFrom
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `string`.
|
||||
Default: `process.cwd()`.
|
||||
|
||||
A filename.
|
||||
[`search()`] will start its search here.
|
||||
|
||||
If the value is a directory, that's where the search starts.
|
||||
If it's a file, the search starts in that file's directory.
|
||||
|
||||
### explorer.load()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
explorer.load(loadPath).then(result => { /* ... */ })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Loads a configuration file. Returns a Promise that resolves with a [result] or rejects with an error (if the file does not exist or cannot be loaded).
|
||||
|
||||
Use `load` if you already know where the configuration file is and you just need to load it.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
explorer.load('load/this/file.json'); // Tries to load load/this/file.json.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you load a `package.json` file, the result will be derived from whatever property is specified as your [`packageProp`].
|
||||
`package.yaml` will work as well if you specify these file names in your [`searchPlaces`].
|
||||
|
||||
You can do the same thing synchronously with [`explorerSync.load()`].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorer.clearLoadCache()
|
||||
|
||||
Clears the cache used in [`load()`].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorer.clearSearchCache()
|
||||
|
||||
Clears the cache used in [`search()`].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorer.clearCaches()
|
||||
|
||||
Performs both [`clearLoadCache()`] and [`clearSearchCache()`].
|
||||
|
||||
## Synchronous API
|
||||
|
||||
### cosmiconfigSync()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { cosmiconfigSync } = require('cosmiconfig');
|
||||
const explorerSync = cosmiconfigSync(moduleName, /* optional */ cosmiconfigOptions)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a *synchronous* cosmiconfig instance ("explorerSync") configured according to the arguments, and initializes its caches.
|
||||
|
||||
See [`cosmiconfig()`](#cosmiconfig-1).
|
||||
|
||||
### explorerSync.search()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const result = explorerSync.search([searchFrom]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Synchronous version of [`explorer.search()`].
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a [result] or `null`.
|
||||
|
||||
### explorerSync.load()
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const result = explorerSync.load(loadPath);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Synchronous version of [`explorer.load()`].
|
||||
|
||||
Returns a [result].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorerSync.clearLoadCache()
|
||||
|
||||
Clears the cache used in [`load()`].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorerSync.clearSearchCache()
|
||||
|
||||
Clears the cache used in [`search()`].
|
||||
|
||||
### explorerSync.clearCaches()
|
||||
|
||||
Performs both [`clearLoadCache()`] and [`clearSearchCache()`].
|
||||
|
||||
## cosmiconfigOptions
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `Object`.
|
||||
|
||||
Possible options are documented below.
|
||||
|
||||
### searchStrategy
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `string`
|
||||
Default: `global` if [`stopDir`] is specified, `none` otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
The strategy that should be used to determine which directories to check for configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
- `none`: Only checks in the current working directory.
|
||||
- `project`: Starts in the current working directory, traversing upwards until a `package.{json,yaml}` file is found.
|
||||
- `global`: Starts in the current working directory, traversing upwards until the configured [`stopDir`]
|
||||
(or the current user's home directory if none is given). Then, if no configuration is found, also look in the
|
||||
operating system's default configuration directory (according to [`env-paths`] without prefix),
|
||||
where a different set of file names is checked:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
[
|
||||
`config`,
|
||||
`config.json`,
|
||||
`config.yaml`,
|
||||
`config.yml`,
|
||||
`config.js`,
|
||||
`config.ts`,
|
||||
`config.cjs`,
|
||||
`config.mjs`
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### searchPlaces
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `Array<string>`.
|
||||
Default: See below.
|
||||
|
||||
An array of places that [`search()`] will check in each directory as it moves up the directory tree.
|
||||
Each place is relative to the directory being searched, and the places are checked in the specified order.
|
||||
|
||||
**Default `searchPlaces`:**
|
||||
|
||||
For the [asynchronous API](#asynchronous-api), these are the default `searchPlaces`:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
[
|
||||
'package.json',
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.json`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.yaml`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.yml`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.js`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.ts`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.mjs`,
|
||||
`.${moduleName}rc.cjs`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.json`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.yaml`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.yml`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.js`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.ts`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.mjs`,
|
||||
`.config/${moduleName}rc.cjs`,
|
||||
`${moduleName}.config.js`,
|
||||
`${moduleName}.config.ts`,
|
||||
`${moduleName}.config.mjs`,
|
||||
`${moduleName}.config.cjs`,
|
||||
];
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For the [synchronous API](#synchronous-api), the only difference is that `.mjs` files are not included. See ["Loading JS modules"] for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
Create your own array to search more, fewer, or altogether different places.
|
||||
|
||||
Every item in `searchPlaces` needs to have a loader in [`loaders`] that corresponds to its extension.
|
||||
(Common extensions are covered by default loaders.)
|
||||
Read more about [`loaders`] below.
|
||||
|
||||
`package.json` is a special value: When it is included in `searchPlaces`, Cosmiconfig will always parse it as JSON and load a property within it, not the whole file.
|
||||
That property is defined with the [`packageProp`] option, and defaults to your module name.
|
||||
|
||||
`package.yaml` (used by pnpm) works the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples, with a module named `porgy`:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Disallow extensions on rc files:
|
||||
['package.json', '.porgyrc', 'porgy.config.js']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Limit the options dramatically:
|
||||
['package.json', '.porgyrc']
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Maybe you want to look for a wide variety of JS flavors:
|
||||
[
|
||||
'porgy.config.js',
|
||||
'porgy.config.mjs',
|
||||
'porgy.config.ts',
|
||||
'porgy.config.coffee'
|
||||
]
|
||||
// ^^ You will need to designate a custom loader to tell
|
||||
// Cosmiconfig how to handle `.coffee` files.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Look within a .config/ subdirectory of every searched directory:
|
||||
[
|
||||
'package.json',
|
||||
'.porgyrc',
|
||||
'.config/.porgyrc',
|
||||
'.porgyrc.json',
|
||||
'.config/.porgyrc.json'
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### loaders
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `Object`.
|
||||
Default: See below.
|
||||
|
||||
An object that maps extensions to the loader functions responsible for loading and parsing files with those extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
Cosmiconfig exposes its default loaders on the named export `defaultLoaders` and `defaultLoadersSync`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Default `loaders`:**
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const { defaultLoaders, defaultLoadersSync } = require('cosmiconfig');
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(Object.entries(defaultLoaders));
|
||||
// [
|
||||
// [ '.mjs', [Function: loadJs] ],
|
||||
// [ '.cjs', [Function: loadJs] ],
|
||||
// [ '.js', [Function: loadJs] ],
|
||||
// [ '.ts', [Function: loadTs] ],
|
||||
// [ '.json', [Function: loadJson] ],
|
||||
// [ '.yaml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
|
||||
// [ '.yml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
|
||||
// [ 'noExt', [Function: loadYaml] ]
|
||||
// ]
|
||||
|
||||
console.log(Object.entries(defaultLoadersSync));
|
||||
// [
|
||||
// [ '.cjs', [Function: loadJsSync] ],
|
||||
// [ '.js', [Function: loadJsSync] ],
|
||||
// [ '.ts', [Function: loadTsSync] ],
|
||||
// [ '.json', [Function: loadJson] ],
|
||||
// [ '.yaml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
|
||||
// [ '.yml', [Function: loadYaml] ],
|
||||
// [ 'noExt', [Function: loadYaml] ]
|
||||
// ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(YAML is a superset of JSON; which means YAML parsers can parse JSON; which is how extensionless files can be either YAML *or* JSON with only one parser.)
|
||||
|
||||
**If you provide a `loaders` object, your object will be *merged* with the defaults.**
|
||||
So you can override one or two without having to override them all.
|
||||
|
||||
**Keys in `loaders`** are extensions (starting with a period), or `noExt` to specify the loader for files *without* extensions, like `.myapprc`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Values in `loaders`** are a loader function (described below) whose values are loader functions.
|
||||
|
||||
**The most common use case for custom loaders value is to load extensionless `rc` files as strict JSON**, instead of JSON *or* YAML (the default).
|
||||
To accomplish that, provide the following `loaders` value:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
{
|
||||
noExt: defaultLoaders['.json'];
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to load files that are not handled by the loader functions Cosmiconfig exposes, you can write a custom loader function or use one from NPM if it exists.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use cases for custom loader function:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Allow configuration syntaxes that aren't handled by Cosmiconfig's defaults, like JSON5, INI, or XML.
|
||||
- Parse JS files with Babel before deriving the configuration.
|
||||
|
||||
**Custom loader functions** have the following signature:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Sync
|
||||
type SyncLoader = (filepath: string, content: string) => Object | null
|
||||
|
||||
// Async
|
||||
type AsyncLoader = (filepath: string, content: string) => Object | null | Promise<Object | null>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Cosmiconfig reads the file when it checks whether the file exists, so it will provide you with both the file's path and its content.
|
||||
Do whatever you need to, and return either a configuration object or `null` (or, for async-only loaders, a Promise that resolves with one of those).
|
||||
`null` indicates that no real configuration was found and the search should continue.
|
||||
|
||||
A few things to note:
|
||||
|
||||
- If you use a custom loader, be aware of whether it's sync or async: you cannot use async customer loaders with the sync API ([`cosmiconfigSync()`]).
|
||||
- **Special JS syntax can also be handled by using a `require` hook**, because `defaultLoaders['.js']` just uses `require`.
|
||||
Whether you use custom loaders or a `require` hook is up to you.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
// Allow JSON5 syntax:
|
||||
cosmiconfig('foo', {
|
||||
loaders: {
|
||||
'.json': json5Loader
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Allow a special configuration syntax of your own creation:
|
||||
cosmiconfig('foo', {
|
||||
loaders: {
|
||||
'.special': specialLoader
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Allow many flavors of JS, using custom loaders:
|
||||
cosmiconfig('foo', {
|
||||
loaders: {
|
||||
'.coffee': coffeeScriptLoader
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Allow many flavors of JS but rely on require hooks:
|
||||
cosmiconfig('foo', {
|
||||
loaders: {
|
||||
'.coffee': defaultLoaders['.js']
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### packageProp
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `string | Array<string>`.
|
||||
Default: `` `${moduleName}` ``.
|
||||
|
||||
Name of the property in `package.json` (or `package.yaml`) to look for.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a period-delimited string or an array of strings to describe a path to nested properties.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the value `'configs.myPackage'` or `['configs', 'myPackage']` will get you the `"myPackage"` value in a `package.json` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"configs": {
|
||||
"myPackage": {"option": "value"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If nested property names within the path include periods, you need to use an array of strings. For example, the value `['configs', 'foo.bar', 'baz']` will get you the `"baz"` value in a `package.json` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"configs": {
|
||||
"foo.bar": {
|
||||
"baz": {"option": "value"}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If a string includes period but corresponds to a top-level property name, it will not be interpreted as a period-delimited path. For example, the value `'one.two'` will get you the `"three"` value in a `package.json` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"one.two": "three",
|
||||
"one": {
|
||||
"two": "four"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### stopDir
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `string`.
|
||||
Default: Absolute path to your home directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Directory where the search will stop.
|
||||
|
||||
### cache
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `boolean`.
|
||||
Default: `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
If `false`, no caches will be used.
|
||||
Read more about ["Caching"](#caching) below.
|
||||
|
||||
### transform
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `(Result) => Promise<Result> | Result`.
|
||||
|
||||
A function that transforms the parsed configuration. Receives the [result].
|
||||
|
||||
If using [`search()`] or [`load()`] \(which are async), the transform function can return the transformed result or return a Promise that resolves with the transformed result.
|
||||
If using `cosmiconfigSync`, [`search()`] or [`load()`], the function must be synchronous and return the transformed result.
|
||||
|
||||
The reason you might use this option — instead of simply applying your transform function some other way — is that *the transformed result will be cached*. If your transformation involves additional filesystem I/O or other potentially slow processing, you can use this option to avoid repeating those steps every time a given configuration is searched or loaded.
|
||||
|
||||
### ignoreEmptySearchPlaces
|
||||
|
||||
Type: `boolean`.
|
||||
Default: `true`.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, if [`search()`] encounters an empty file (containing nothing but whitespace) in one of the [`searchPlaces`], it will ignore the empty file and move on.
|
||||
If you'd like to load empty configuration files, instead, set this option to `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
Why might you want to load empty configuration files?
|
||||
If you want to throw an error, or if an empty configuration file means something to your program.
|
||||
|
||||
## Loading JS modules
|
||||
|
||||
Your end users can provide JS configuration files as ECMAScript modules (ESM) under the following conditions:
|
||||
|
||||
- You (the cosmiconfig user) use cosmiconfig's [asynchronous API](#asynchronous-api).
|
||||
- Your end user runs a version of Node that supports ESM ([>=12.17.0](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v12.17.0/), or earlier with the `--experimental-modules` flag).
|
||||
- Your end user provides an `.mjs` configuration file, or a `.js` file whose nearest parent `package.json` file contains `"type": "module"`. (See [Node's method for determining a file's module system](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_determining_module_system).)
|
||||
|
||||
With cosmiconfig's [asynchronous API](#asynchronous-api), the default [`searchPlaces`] include `.js`, `.ts`, `.mjs`, and `.cjs` files. Cosmiconfig loads all these file types with the [dynamic `import` function](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#dynamic_imports).
|
||||
|
||||
With the [synchronous API](#synchronous-api), JS configuration files are always treated as CommonJS, and `.mjs` files are ignored, because there is no synchronous API for the dynamic `import` function.
|
||||
|
||||
## Caching
|
||||
|
||||
As of v2, cosmiconfig uses caching to reduce the need for repetitious reading of the filesystem or expensive transforms. Every new cosmiconfig instance (created with `cosmiconfig()`) has its own caches.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid or work around caching, you can do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- Set the `cosmiconfig` option [`cache`] to `false`.
|
||||
- Use the cache-clearing methods [`clearLoadCache()`], [`clearSearchCache()`], and [`clearCaches()`].
|
||||
- Create separate instances of cosmiconfig (separate "explorers").
|
||||
|
||||
## Differences from [rc](https://github.com/dominictarr/rc)
|
||||
|
||||
[rc](https://github.com/dominictarr/rc) serves its focused purpose well. cosmiconfig differs in a few key ways — making it more useful for some projects, less useful for others:
|
||||
|
||||
- Looks for configuration in some different places: in a `package.json` property, an rc file, a `.config.js` file, and rc files with extensions.
|
||||
- Built-in support for JSON, YAML, and CommonJS formats.
|
||||
- Stops at the first configuration found, instead of finding all that can be found up the directory tree and merging them automatically.
|
||||
- Options.
|
||||
- Asynchronous by default (though can be run synchronously).
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage for end users
|
||||
|
||||
When configuring a tool, you can use multiple file formats and put these in multiple places.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, a tool would mention this in its own README file,
|
||||
but by default, these are the following places, where `{NAME}` represents the name of the tool:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
package.json
|
||||
.{NAME}rc
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.json
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.yaml
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.yml
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.js
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.ts
|
||||
.{NAME}rc.cjs
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.json
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.yaml
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.yml
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.js
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.ts
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.mjs
|
||||
.config/{NAME}rc.cjs
|
||||
{NAME}.config.js
|
||||
{NAME}.config.ts
|
||||
{NAME}.config.mjs
|
||||
{NAME}.config.cjs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The contents of these files are defined by the tool.
|
||||
For example, you can configure prettier to enforce semicolons at the end of the line
|
||||
using a file named `.config/prettierrc.yml`:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
semi: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, you have the option to put a property named after the tool in your `package.json` file,
|
||||
with the contents of that property being the same as the file contents. To use the same example as above:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"name": "your-project",
|
||||
"dependencies": {},
|
||||
"prettier": {
|
||||
"semi": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This has the advantage that you can put the configuration of all tools
|
||||
(at least the ones that use cosmiconfig) in one file.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add a `cosmiconfig` key within your `package.json` file or create one of the following files
|
||||
to configure `cosmiconfig` itself:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.config/config.json
|
||||
.config/config.yaml
|
||||
.config/config.yml
|
||||
.config/config.js
|
||||
.config/config.ts
|
||||
.config/config.cjs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The following properties are currently actively supported in these places:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cosmiconfig:
|
||||
# adds places where configuration files are being searched
|
||||
searchPlaces:
|
||||
- .config/{name}.yml
|
||||
# to enforce a custom naming convention and format, don't merge the above with the tool-defined search places
|
||||
# (`true` is the default setting)
|
||||
mergeSearchPlaces: false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** technically, you can overwrite all options described in [cosmiconfigOptions](#cosmiconfigoptions) here,
|
||||
> but everything not listed above should be used at your own risk, as it has not been tested explicitly.
|
||||
> The only exceptions to this are the `loaders` property, which is explicitly not supported at this time,
|
||||
> and the `searchStrategy` property, which is intentionally disallowed.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add more root properties outside the `cosmiconfig` property
|
||||
to configure your tools, entirely eliminating the need to look for additional configuration files:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
cosmiconfig:
|
||||
searchPlaces: []
|
||||
|
||||
prettier:
|
||||
semi: true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Imports
|
||||
|
||||
Wherever you put your configuration (the package.json file, a root config file or a package-specific config file),
|
||||
you can use the special `$import` key to import another file as a base.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, you can import from an npm package (in this example, `@foocorp/config`).
|
||||
|
||||
`.prettierrc.base.yml` in said npm package could define some company-wide defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
printWidth: 120
|
||||
semi: true
|
||||
tabWidth: 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then, the `.prettierrc.yml` file in the project itself would just reference that file,
|
||||
optionally overriding the defaults with project-specific settings:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
$import: node_modules/@foocorp/config/.prettierrc.base.yml
|
||||
# we want more space!
|
||||
printWidth: 200
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to import multiple base files by specifying an array of paths,
|
||||
which will be processed in declaration order;
|
||||
that means that the last entry will win if there are conflicting properties.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to import file formats other than the importing format
|
||||
as long as they are supported by the loaders specified by the developer of the tool you're configuring.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
$import: [first.yml, second.json, third.config.js]
|
||||
```
