Elastigirl

A superhero module to get configuration from a remote JSON file, and update it without restart!

Usage:

new Elastigirl({<OPTIONS>})

Options:

name	Description	type	default value
source	where the file is located either a local file or url	string	null
intervalTime	Interval time between reloading	integer	60000
cacheLocal	If ture the module will save the last json to temp folder and will load it on init	boolean	false

Examples:

Use it with URL:

const config1 = new Elastigirl({ source: 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1'})
  // It might take some time to finish the HTTP reuqest until them we will use default values
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(config1.get('userId', 'shoul not be printed'))
  }, 1000)

You can use it also with files:

const config1 = new Elastigirl({ source: './package.json'})
  // It might take some time to read file until them we will use default values
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(config1.get('name', 'Node app'))
  }, 1000)

or just relay on defualt values from development:

** If you will use the package this way in production it will throw an exception

const config1 = new Elastigirl({ })
  setTimeout(() => {
    console.log(config1.get('name', 'Node app'))
  }, 1000)
