I want to export const config from config.js file in CommonJs app.
const config = {
development: {
client: 'pg',
connection: {
database: 'myDatabase',
user: 'myUser',
host: 'localhost',
password: 'password',
port: PORT,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
},
server: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 'PORT2'
}
}
module.exports = config;
and in index.js I require that like
var env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development';
const config = require('./config')[env];
const knexDB = knex({
client: config.client,
connection: {
database: config.database,
user: config.user,
host: config.host,
password: config.password,
port: config.port,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
}
});
But in the config file. IntelliSense recommends changing module.exports to ES export which I don't want to do and keep the app CommonJS. also, config object in index.js I have this error :
Property 'host' does not exist on type '{ development: { client: string; connection: { database: string; user: string; host: string; password: string; port: number; ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: boolean; }; }; server: { host: string; port: string; }; }; production: { ...; }; }'.ts(2339)
How can I export config from config.js?
You're getting the wrong property of config. It must be config.development.host . give up on the vscode requesting a CommonJS module.leave it alone. You also have 2 options more to configure your constant data.
yarn add dotenv
npm install config
Check config file you Db details is inside config.development.connection but you are reading it from config.
const knexDB = knex({
client: config.development.client,
connection: {
database: config.development.connection.database,
user: config.development.connection.user,
host: config.development.connection.host,
password: config.development.connection.password,
port: config.development.connection.port,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
}
But instead of this use config or env
well, I found a way to work around it. I removed connection from development and it worked! just mention I used config.connection.client and config.development.connection.client or other variables in the connection but still not working in the index.js.
so it looks like
const config = {
development: {
client: 'pg',
database: 'myDatabase',
user: 'myUser',
host: 'localhost',
password: 'password',
port: PORT,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
server: {
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 'PORT2'
}
}
module.exports = config;
and in index.js I access that like
const configure = require('./config.js')[env];
const knexDB = knex({
client: configure.client,
connection: {
database: configure.database,
user: configure.user,
host: configure.host,
password: configure.password,
port: configure.port,
ssl: {
rejectUnauthorized: false
}
}
});
thanks for everyone for thier contribution.
