spacetime-config

All NYC Space/Time Directory components use spacetime-config to load their configuration parameters:

Installation and usage

As a Node.js module

Install:

npm install nypl-spacetime/spacetime-config

Use:

const config = require('spacetime-config')

console.log(config.etl.outputDir)
// '/Users/bert/data/spacetime/etl/'

As a command-line tool

npm install -g nypl-spacetime/spacetime-config
spacetime-config etl.outputDir
# /Users/bert/data/spacetime/etl/

Configuration files

spacetime-config loads the default configuration from spacetime.default.yml and merges this with a required user-specified configuration file. You can specify the location of your own configuration file in two ways:

Start the Space/Time module which uses spacetime-config with the argument --config path/to/config.yml
Set the SPACETIME_CONFIG environment variable to the path of the configuration file:

export SPACETIME_CONFIG=/Users/bert/.spacetime/spacetime.config.yml
