confinode - Node.js application configuration management

This package provides a library whose purpose is to be a standard and universal configuration file manager for Node.js applications. Its main features are:

- synchronous or asynchronous… or both;
- file system access cache;
- appropriate configuration file searching;
- configuration file loading, based on its name or on a module name;
- a lot of file type supported (out-of-the-box support for _JavaScript_, _JSON_, _YAML_, support for other types if appropriate modules can be loaded);
- indirection management (if configuration is a string, it is the real path to the file to load);
- inheritance management (a configuration can extend another one);
- configuration analysis and errors control;
- for _TypeScript_ users, fully typed, including the configuration itself.
