settings
A minimalistic API that formalizes the way settings are implemented across third-party libraries and custom modules in an application.
One idea here is that settings should be able to be persisted in a common format and not necessarily coupled to a specific library or library version.
Install
Note: this package is currently in a very early, untested state.
$ meteor add jamz:settings
How to Use
Create a new instance of Settings class available to the whole application:
// At the app level:
App.settings = settings.create();Add configuration options for a third-party library to a Settings Group.
// Say we have a package called GoogleMap that implements settings with the Settings class.
var GoogleMapSettings = App.settings.createGroup('google-maps');
// It has an option to set the size.
GoogleMapSettings.registerOption('size', function (size) {
this.setMapSize(size);
});Configure the third-party library with a simple configuration object.
// Now we create a new map and configure it.
var map = new GoogleMap();
// Wrap this in Tracker.autorun to reconfigure map when screen size changes, a different user
// logs in, etc. depending on what dependencies you track.
GoogleMapSettings.configure(map, {size: {width: 640, height: 480}});Coming Soon
- Specify a default configuration value.
- Limit the allowed configuration values according to a schema.
