Merge Configuration file

This project is just a small demo to show how we might want to help users update this prototype kit by merging various files.

Get started

• Pull down this repo

NPM script

• npm start - shorthand for npm run kit
• npm run kit - NPM installs dependencies and then updates the kit
• npm run kit:update - just updates the kit

I've namespaced the scripts to show that we might want grainular control of the install/run process

Test Scenarios

1. User has downloaded the kit but has changed some of the options

   • Run npm run kit:update
   • check app/config.js values should still be remembered

2. Design Team decide to add new attributes to kit/config/config.js

   • add new key/value paid to kit/config/config.js
   • Run npm run kit:update
   • check app/config.js previous values should still be set and new attributes/values should be added

(OPTIONAL) - Add help text to to kit/config/config-help-text.js - Run npm run kit:update - check app/config.js previous values should still be set and new attributes/values should be added along with help text

To do

• Merge other application assets
• warn if configuration options are being depreciated or deleted
• automatically fetch latest kit release
