configstore 0.2.0

Configstore is a convenient npm package that allows users to easily load and persist configurations without worrying about where and how they are stored. The configurations are saved in a JSON file located either in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config.

To use Configstore in your project, first, install the package by using the command $ npm install configstore. Then you can import Configstore into your JavaScript file. You can create a new instance of Configstore using packageJson.name as the packageName and set initial default configurations as the defaults parameter. You can use the .set() function to define configuration value or use the .get() function to retrieve the value of a configuration.

import Configstore from 'configstore';

const packageJson = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./package.json', 'utf8'));

// Create a Configstore instance.
const config = new Configstore(packageJson.name, {foo: 'bar'});

console.log(config.get('foo')); // Outputs 'bar'
config.set('awesome', true);
console.log(config.get('awesome')); // Outputs true

// Use dot-notation to access nested properties.
config.set('bar.baz', true);
console.log(config.get('bar')); // Outputs {baz: true}

config.delete('awesome');
console.log(config.get('awesome')); // Outputs undefined

The Configstore documentation can be found in the README file of its GitHub repository: https://github.com/yeoman/configstore. It provides information such as API definitions, package installations, usage examples, and available options. This extensive guide will prove quite beneficial for both beginners and experts looking to implement Configstore in their projects.
