Support for local configuration

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Please consider to add support for local configuration in any of the following ways:

  • by default use of config.js when the last is found in the root directory
  • by adding command option such as -C, --config in which, either the directory in which the config.js lies (e.g. ./config/md/), or the full path of the config file (e.g. ./config/md/OTHER-NAME-config.js), is given.

IMHO, global config file through personalisation may restrict the parallel running of different projects and is unfair for the app itself.

Hi @GHNewbiee
Did you already try mdstart /config ?
Maybe that's what you are looking for?

Hi @commenthol

Did you already try mdstart /config ?

Yes, I did. What I have observed is that, after submitting,

  • a local config.js is not created at the root directory. (I have already given permission, through exception, session cookies to be accepted from http://localhost:4000.) Hence, I guess that config.js is saved, if really is, somewhere else.
  • a message (e.g. modal) about the outcome of submission (e.g. succeeded, failed, config file created, etc.) is not displayed at all.

Maybe that's what you are looking for?

IMHO, mdstart /config is a good quick way to start; but -C, --config is also a very common and "tested" way. Using the latter one, the config file could also lie in another place (subdirectory) with other config files than root directory. In fact, I cannot recall any other case/app where I need(ed) to write app /config.

In addition, I do not even get any message in console. Just Ctrl+C to return.
