{
    console.log(JSON.stringify(config, null, 4));

config.default, config.shared, config.production, config.development are reserved (!!!) and map to the default directory structure in the following order:

/                                   - the config root overwrites all ...
/production and /development        - are laoded according to the `process.env.NODE_ENV` vairable and overwrite ...
/shared                             - which overwrites  ...
/default                            - this is where all/ full default settings should be stored and explained (the default sample configs)

config files MUST contain .conf in the filename and one of the file extensions json, csv, ini, js or yaml

sample - load all json ini csv and json files from config folder and its subdirectories

|-config
  |-winston.conf.yaml
    |-production
      |-server.conf.json

the config can be accessed like so:

console.log(config.winston.someSettings);
console.log(config.production.server.port);
