Creates a single location for server-wide variables.
npm install global-silo#### Accessing variables
all - Retrieves all the store properties and values
get - Retrieves the key-value pair
set - Stores the key-value pair, over-writes the key if it already exists
add - Creates the key-value pair, will not over-write the key if it already exists
rm - Removes the property from the store
cp - Copy the value from one property to another
mv - Move the value from one property to another
#### Example
In a server.js file:
``$xslt
const express = require('express');
const silo = require('global-silo');
const getBucket = require('./get_s3_bucket');
const app = express();
/* This will supply a single location for variables used server-wide.
The get_s3_bucket.js file could contain a function that retrieves a file
from an AWS S3 Bucket, which requires the bucket name and a file name variables.
Alternatively, you could pass the variable through as a parameter.
*/
silo.init([
[ 'bucketName', 'identity-level-of-education-dev-bucket-s3' ],
[ 'storageFile', 'levels_of_education.json' ],
[ 'logFile', 'level_of_education_logs.json' ]
]);
app.get('/log-info', (req, res) => res.status(200).send(getBucket(logs.json);
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 8081, function () {
console.log("Server running on port", port);
});
