[Question] load config files from multiple sources

Dear all,

thank you very much for this nice package. I am quite new to TypeScript - therefore, this might be a stupid question. Anyway, I am going for this 😆

Consider the following scenario (folder structure):

src
   app
      modules
         cat
            config
               cat-config.ts
               customconfig.ts
               whatever.ts
         dog
            config
               dog-config.ts
         snake
            config
               snake-config.ts
   config
      app.ts
      database.ts
      filesystem.ts

Basically, i would like to load all config files which are scattered around my application. Basic config files, like the app.ts or database.ts are stored in the src/app/config folder, whereas “domain specific” config files are located within their own module folder (e.g., the cat module has its configuration stored in src/app/modules/cat/config/cat-config.ts

Upon start of the application, i would like to get and merge all config files together, so i can use config.get('cat-config.deeply.nested.value'); to access specific values.

How can i manage to solve this?

All the best

@eugenchio There is now a ‘modifyConfigName’ options that you can pass in.

 @Module({
  imports: [
    ConfigModule.load(path.resolve(__dirname, '*-config.ts'), {
        modifyConfigName: name => name.replace('-config', ''),
    }),
  ],
})

I’ve noticed this isn’t actually in the readme 👎 so I’ll add an issue for that now

I’ve opened #57 for the merge/immutable. I’ve also opened a PR for modifyConfigName method to be added to the readme https://github.com/nestjs-community/nestjs-config/tree/feature/modify-name-readme#multi-modular-config-usage
