global-node 🌍

This module helps in solving the problem of managing global variable in nodejs application. Set the global variable using global-node class and get it anywhere in application using the same class. It helps in writing clean and maintainable code.

Install instruction

Below npm v5.0.0

 $ npm install global-node --save

Above v5.0.0

 $ npm install global-node 

Usage

Require the module

constglobalNode=require('global-node');

Basic add and get properties

/*  in app.js  make a instance of global-node by just requiring the module and set some properties*/constglobalNode=require('global-node');globalNode.setProperty('key','value');constval=globalNode.getValue('key');console.log(val)// -> value;/* now in some other file just get the variable by requiring the module and calling getValue('key'); function*/constval=globalNode.getValue('key');console.log(val)// -> value;

globalNode.getValue(key)

Get the value of the property.

constval=globalNode.getValue(key);console.log(val)

globalNode.deleteProperty(key)

Delete the property.

// if property doesn't exist it will throw an errorglobalNode.deleteProperty(key);

globalNode.listProperty()

List all the properties.

globalNode.setProperty('key','value');globalNode.setProperty('key2','value2');constlst=globalNode.listProperty()// returns and arrayconsole.log(lst)// [ key, key2 ];

globalNode.isPropertyExist(key)

Check if property exist.

globalNode.setProperty('key','value');constisExist=globalNode.isPropertyExist('key');console.log(isExist)// true;isExist=globalNode.isPropertyExist('nokey');console.log(isExist)// false;

globalNode.emptyAll()

Clear all the global properties

globalNode.setProperty('key','value');globalNode.emptyAll()constlst=globalNode.listProperty()// returns and arrayconsole.log(lst)// [ ]; // removed all the property from the global object

Fetch properties from .json file

You can get the default global variables from the file by setting the environment variable GLOBAL_CONFIG_FILE='/pathtofile' this must be the absolute path to the file and the file must be a valid JSON otherwise it will throw and error.
