Using a config file with RequireJS
It can be very useful to have a single configuration file that can be used anywhere in your JavaScript application. This is really easy to do with RequireJS.
First setup your config.js
file and place it in your root JS directory:
define({
environment: 'development',
// API settings
api: {
url: 'api.someurl.com',
alwaysUseHTTPS: true,
clientID: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
}
});
Then you can use it anywhere in your code:
define(['config'], function (config) {
// Setup logging
if (config.environment === 'development') {
console.log('Running in Development Mode');
}
// App code...
});
