Inquirer.js VS node-config

Inquirer.js is a handy tool for adding interactive prompts to your CLI.

There is a CLI application based on Inquirer. Potentially, it could be another CLI library, say something from the following list. Our goal is to provide integration tests. But before that, let's look at the related terminology.

inquirer

If you boil plop down to its core, it is basically glue code between inquirer prompts and handlebar templates.

This is a new tutorial on how to create a command line interface application, and our application today is a Mortgage Calculator. I used in this program packages such as 1- inquirer for interactive questions and answers: https://www.npmjs.com/package/inquirer 2- Sqlite3 DBMS 3- Chalk for colorful output in the terminal: https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk

We can easily achieve that with the inquirer package. This package allows you to ask different types of questions, such as input questions (open-text questions), confirmation questions (Yes/No), etc.

node-config

This will allow to set a security operation mode and configure the channels. I chose to use the config package as I had good experience with it and it supports cascading config options.

Tailwind CSS v3.2.4 includes a new @config directive that lets you specify which Tailwind CSS config to use for that file.

Use https://www.npmjs.com/package/config so you can have runtime variables accessible based on provided json's

I am using this node-config package (https://github.com/node-config/node-config) in my project. I feel like I am brute-forcing my way, is there a better way to do this? Any hint would be appreciated or just point me in a direction that would be great. Thank you!

In this article, I'm going to demonstrate how the dotenv and node-config NPM packages can be used together to keep your Node.js application code organized across environments.

#3 Environment-specific config files with Config package

I always disliked the .env file. Almost every time I was forced to place it on the top level of my app directory. At some point i started to use the npm config package. This gives the application a consistent configuration interface and there is a formidable way to implement it into the NextJS environment. For people which prefer code over text, feel free to checkout the finished implementation.

How do I handle configs? In our Node APIs we use this config package, which allows us to override default configs on a per-environment basis. What's the standard way of doing this in Go?
