Config Functions

config()

Get a configuration value:

import { config } from "@lara-node/core";

// Get value
const host = config("database.mysql.host");

// Get with default
const port = config("app.port", 3000);

// Get entire section
const dbConfig = config("database");

setConfig()

Set a configuration value:

import { setConfig } from "@lara-node/core";

setConfig("app.debug", true);
setConfig("database.mysql.host", "localhost");

hasConfig()

Check if a configuration key exists:

import { hasConfig } from "@lara-node/core";

if (hasConfig("cache.redis")) {
  // Redis is configured
}

allConfig()

Get all configuration:

import { allConfig } from "@lara-node/core";

const all = allConfig();
console.log(all.database);

Loading Configuration

Configuration is typically loaded from files in src/config/:

// src/bootstrap/app.ts
import { setConfig } from "@lara-node/core";
import databaseConfig from "../config/database.config";
import cacheConfig from "../config/cache.config";

setConfig("database", databaseConfig);
setConfig("cache", cacheConfig);

Dot Notation

Access nested values with dot notation:

// config/database.config.ts
export default {
  mysql: {
    host: "localhost",
    port: 3306,
  },
};

// Access
config("database.mysql.host"); // 'localhost'
config("database.mysql.port"); // 3306
