I build a Node.js tool in order to change GCP config quickly. But I'm a bit stuck on the parsing of the config_nameOfConfig
file.
It looks like this :
[core]
account = email@example.fr
project = project-example
disable_usage_reporting = False
[compute]
region = europe-west1-b
(This file is available in '/Users/nameOfUser/.config/gcloud'
)
And I want to convert it in an object like this :
const config = {
account:"email@example.fr",
project:"project-example",
disable_usage_reporting:false,
region:"europe-west1-b",
};
I get the content of this file with the fs.readFileSync
function who converts it into a string.
An idea ?
This seems to be an ini file format. Unless you want to do the parsing yourself, you'd better just download a library to your project, for example:
npm install ini
Then in the code:
var ini = require('ini')
var fs = require('fs')
var config = ini.parse(fs.readFileSync('./config_nameOfConfig', 'utf-8'))
In config
you should now have object containing the data in the file.
You can console.log(config)
to see how it exactly looks like.
