hapi-epoxy is a module designed to extend off of two things that are limited by the current Glue manifest:
- Overriding by environment variables (Which is currently only possible on the command-line, assuming you are using rejoice)
- Inability to document the config inside the config file itself (Since JSON doesn't natively support comments)
It is designed to work alongside Glue, generating the object / JSON that Glue normally consumes from a given YAML as follows:
Glue.compose(Epoxy.bond(...), glueOptions, function (err, server) { ...});
Examples of sample formats can be found in the ./test/fixtures/ directory. In particular, the
sample-application.yaml file has a decent example of the various forms of plugin configuration
and general server setup, with a few examples of Epoxy being used to override values with the local
system as desired.
In contrast, sample-application.json is an example Glue manifest for the equivalently-named YAML
file, using the default values where the Epoxy tags are used in the YAML.
