sp-auth --help # for help about parameters
`

$3

`javascript
import { AuthConfig } from 'node-sp-auth-config';

const authConfig = new AuthConfig({
configPath: './config/private.json',
encryptPassword: true,
saveConfigOnDisk: true
});

authConfig.getContext()
.then((context) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(context, null, 2));
// context.authOptions - node-sp-auth authentication options
})
.catch(console.warn);
`

#### Headless mode

When using in a headless mode, in case of missing parameters, one can expect non-interactive behavior with no prompts but graceful exit with corresponding error output.

This can be achieved by providing headlessMode settings property is equal to true.

The headless mode also automatically configured when NODE_ENV (or SPAUTH_ENV) environment variable is equal to production.

#### Environment variables

All the parameters which are usually stored in private.json can be defined also using environment variables. Environment variables started with SPAUTH_ prefix are recognized with the library. The second part of the name is an actual name of the node-sp-auth credentials property yet in uppercase (e.g. SPAUTH_SITEURL, SPAUTH_USERNAME, SPAUTH_PASSWORD).

Along with credentials props these service variables are used:

| Variable | Description |
| --- | --- |
| NODE_ENV | When equal to production forces headlessMode. |
| SPAUTH_ENV | When equal to production forces headlessMode. Overwrites NODE_ENV. |
| SPAUTH_FORCE | Makes SPAUTH_{CREDENTIALS} variables take precedence over those possibly stored in private.json`. |
