A node.js module which holds the configuration of your node application. The configuration consists of required and optional key/value-pairs and their appropriate default values with the ability to load themselves from and write to files.

// Create a new config named 'server' with the required keys 'port',

// The 'load' method can be feeded with an ARGV array. So calling
// the script with 'node server.js --port=9000' will overwrite the
// default port.
conf.load(process.argv);
// Customize 'port' of the example server.
conf.setValue('port', 8080);
// Create an example https-server with previous defined configuration.
// As server options, the default values are taken and for the port
// to listen to, the configuration chooses the customized value.
var server = https.createServer(conf.getValue('https'))
.listen(conf.getValue('port'));
// When application ends, write the server configuration to a YAML file.
// Supported export targets are: JSON, YAML, Object and a custom
// function.
