Merge rewrite rules from multiple .local-web-server.json files

If we have two .local-web-server.json files, say in the current directory and in the user’s $HOME, configurations like port get merged properly, but if both files have rewrite rules, then only the rules in the current directory show up with ws --config.

Maybe it needs a deep merge?

this is resolved in v2 which is in progress and available for preview. Config files are now plain javascipt, giving you freedom to share and merge options however you like.

The config file (lws.config.js by default) should look something like this:

module.exports = {
  rewrite: [
    {
      from: '/resources/*',
      to: 'http://remote-api.org:8080/resources/$1'
    }
  ],
  directory: 'src',
  'log.format': 'none'
}

An example of how you might share and merge options:

/* pull options from the env */
const remoteAPI = process.env.REMOTE_API

/* .. or an installed package */
const sharedOptions = require('shared-options')

/* merge them to taste */
const options = Object.assign({}, sharedOptions, {
  rewrite: [
    {
      from: '/resources/*',
      to: `http://${remoteAPI}/resources/$1`
    }
  ]
})

module.exports = options

i have released this feature on a tag as it needs testing… please install and let me know your thoughts:

$ npm install -g local-web-server@deep

then run it with this flag:

$ ws --deep-merge-config

see the config master deep branch to see the changes.
