# node-config-python
|

Read and write python config files non-destructively (preserves comments)
|
||||
|
||||
Read and write python config files non-destructively (preserves comments and lines)
|
||||
|
||||
Turns this kind of thing:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
foo = True
|
||||
bar = None
|
||||
baz = whatever
|
||||
qux = apples,bananas
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Into this kind of thing:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
{ foo: true
|
||||
, bar: null
|
||||
, baz: "whatever"
|
||||
, qux: ["apples", "bananas"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
(comments are stored in meta-data keys `__lines` and `__keys`)
|
||||
|
||||
## Install & Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install --save pyconf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var pyconf = require('pyconf');
|
||||
|
||||
# alias for fs.readFile() then pyconf.parse()
|
||||
pyconf.readFile("/path/to/foo.conf", function (err, obj) {
|
||||
console.log(obj);
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
pyconf.writeFile("/path/to/foo.conf", obj, function (err, obj) {
|
||||
console.log("wrote file");
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the `writeFile` function uses `safe-replace` so that it will work even in environments where race conditions are possible and will also create a backup file `whatever.conf.bak` of the config being overwritten.
|
||||
|
||||
## API
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyconf.parse(str, cb) => err, object
|
||||
pyconf.stringify(obj, cb) => err, text
|
||||
|
||||
pyconf.readFile(filename, cb) => err, object
|
||||
pyconf.writeFile(filename, obj, cb) => err
|
||||
```
