## Install 📦

```bash
npm install @push.rocks/smartconfig --save
# or
pnpm add @push.rocks/smartconfig
```

## Quick Start ⚡

```typescript
import { Smartconfig, AppData, KeyValueStore } from '@push.rocks/smartconfig';

// 1. Read tool config from .smartconfig.json
const sc = new Smartconfig();
const eslintOpts = sc.dataFor('eslint', { extends: 'standard' });

// 2. Map env vars to typed config (with auto-conversion)
const appData = await AppData.createAndInit<{ port: number; debug: boolean }>({
  envMapping: {
    port: 'PORT',
    debug: 'boolean:DEBUG',
  },
});

// 3. Persist data between runs
const kv = new KeyValueStore({ typeArg: 'userHomeDir', identityArg: 'myapp' });
await kv.writeKey('lastRun', Date.now());
```

## Three Core Classes 🏗️

### 1. `Smartconfig` — Centralized Tool Configuration

Reads a `.smartconfig.json` file from a project directory and merges its contents with your defaults. One file, every tool.

```typescript
import { Smartconfig } from '@push.rocks/smartconfig';

const sc = new Smartconfig();              // uses cwd
const sc2 = new Smartconfig('/my/project'); // or specify a path

const prettierConfig = sc.dataFor<PrettierConfig>('prettier', {
  semi: false,
  singleQuote: true,
});
```

**`.smartconfig.json`** example:

```json
{
  "prettier": {
    "semi": true,
    "printWidth": 120
  },
  "eslint": {
    "extends": "@company/eslint-config"
  }
}
```

Values from the file override the defaults you pass in. Missing keys fall back to your defaults.

**Properties:**
- `smartconfigJsonExists: boolean` — whether `.smartconfig.json` was found
- `smartconfigJsonData: any` — the parsed JSON contents

**Methods:**
- `dataFor<T>(toolName: string, defaults: T): T` — returns merged config

---

### 2. `KeyValueStore<T>` — Persistent Data Storage

A generic, typed key-value store that persists JSON to disk (or stays in-memory for tests). Supports change detection via RxJS observables.

```typescript
import { KeyValueStore } from '@push.rocks/smartconfig';

interface Settings {
  username: string;
  theme: 'light' | 'dark';
}

// Store in ~/.smartconfig/kv/
const kv = new KeyValueStore<Settings>({
  typeArg: 'userHomeDir',
  identityArg: 'myApp',
  mandatoryKeys: ['username'],
});

await kv.writeKey('username', 'jane');
await kv.writeKey('theme', 'dark');

const user = await kv.readKey('username'); // 'jane'
const all = await kv.readAll();            // { username: 'jane', theme: 'dark' }

// React to changes
kv.changeSubject.subscribe((data) => console.log('changed:', data));
```

**Storage types:**

| `typeArg` | Where it goes | Use case |
|-----------|--------------|----------|
| `'userHomeDir'` | `~/.smartconfig/kv/<identity>.json` | CLI tools, per-user state |
| `'custom'` | Your path (file or directory) | App data, project-local state |
| `'ephemeral'` | Memory only — nothing on disk | Tests |

**Methods:**

| Method | Description |
|--------|------------|
| `readKey(key)` | Read a single value |
| `writeKey(key, value)` | Write a single value |
| `readAll()` | Read everything |
| `writeAll(obj)` | Merge an object into the store |
| `deleteKey(key)` | Remove a key |
| `reset()` | Wipe all keys (synced to disk) |
| `wipe()` | Delete the backing file entirely |
| `getMissingMandatoryKeys()` | Returns keys declared mandatory but not yet set |
| `waitForKeysPresent(keys)` | Returns a Promise that resolves once all listed keys exist |
| `waitForAndGetKey(key)` | Waits for a key, then returns its value |

---

### 3. `AppData<T>` — Environment Variable Mapping 🌟

The flagship class. Maps environment variables (or hardcoded values) into a typed config object with automatic type conversions, nested object support, and smart storage path selection.

```typescript
import { AppData } from '@push.rocks/smartconfig';

interface Config {
  apiUrl: string;
  apiKey: string;
  features: {
    analytics: boolean;
    payment: boolean;
  };
  redis: {
    host: string;
    password: string;
  };
}

const appData = await AppData.createAndInit<Config>({
  requiredKeys: ['apiKey'],
  envMapping: {
    apiUrl: 'API_URL',                        // plain env var
    apiKey: 'hard:dev-key-123',               // hardcoded fallback
    features: {
      analytics: 'boolean:ENABLE_ANALYTICS',  // converts "true"/"false" → boolean
      payment: 'hard_boolean:true',           // hardcoded boolean
    },
    redis: {
      host: 'REDIS_HOST',
      password: 'base64:REDIS_PASSWORD_B64',  // base64-decode at load time
    },
  },
  overwriteObject: {
    apiUrl: 'http://localhost:3000',           // force override after env mapping
  },
});

const store = await appData.getKvStore();
const url = await store.readKey('apiUrl');
```

#### Mapping Prefixes

| Prefix | What it does | Example mapping | Result |
|--------|-------------|-----------------|--------|
| *(none)* | Raw env var as string | `'MY_VAR'` | `process.env.MY_VAR` |
| `hard:` | Hardcoded string | `'hard:hello'` | `"hello"` |
| `boolean:` | Env var → `true`/`false` | `'boolean:FLAG'` | `true` or `false` |
| `json:` | Env var → `JSON.parse()` | `'json:CONFIG'` | parsed object |
| `base64:` | Env var → base64 decode | `'base64:SECRET'` | decoded string |
| `hard_boolean:` | Hardcoded boolean | `'hard_boolean:false'` | `false` |
| `hard_json:` | Hardcoded JSON | `'hard_json:{"a":1}'` | `{ a: 1 }` |
| `hard_base64:` | Hardcoded base64 | `'hard_base64:SGVsbG8='` | `"Hello"` |

Suffix detection also works: a mapping ending in `_JSON` or `_BASE64` triggers the corresponding transform automatically.

#### Boolean Conversion Rules

The `boolean:` prefix (and `hard_boolean:`) recognizes:

- **true**: `"true"`, `"1"`, `"yes"`, `"y"`, `"on"` (case-insensitive)
- **false**: `"false"`, `"0"`, `"no"`, `"n"`, `"off"` (case-insensitive)

#### Nested Objects

Mapping values can be objects — they are resolved recursively:

```typescript
envMapping: {
  database: {
    host: 'DB_HOST',
    port: 'hard:5432',
    credentials: {
      user: 'DB_USER',
      password: 'base64:DB_PASS_B64',
      ssl: 'boolean:DB_SSL',
    },
  },
}
```

#### Smart Storage Path

When no `dirPath` is specified, AppData auto-selects:

1. `/app/data` — if it exists (containers)
2. `/data` — if it exists (alternate container path)
3. `.nogit/appdata` — local dev fallback

Or pass `ephemeral: true` for zero disk I/O (great for tests).

#### Static Helpers

Quick one-shot env var reads without creating an AppData instance:

```typescript
const isEnabled = await AppData.valueAsBoolean('FEATURE_FLAG');
const config    = await AppData.valueAsJson<MyType>('CONFIG_JSON');
const secret    = await AppData.valueAsBase64('ENCODED_SECRET');
const url       = await AppData.valueAsString('API_URL');
const port      = await AppData.valueAsNumber('PORT');
```

#### Instance Methods

| Method | Description |
|--------|------------|
| `getKvStore()` | Returns the underlying `KeyValueStore<T>` |
| `logMissingKeys()` | Logs and returns any required keys that are missing |
| `waitForAndGetKey(key)` | Blocks until a key is present, then returns it |

---

## Security 🔐

AppData automatically redacts sensitive values in its console logs. Keys matching patterns like `secret`, `token`, `password`, `api`, `auth`, `jwt`, etc. are truncated. JWT tokens (starting with `eyJ`) are also detected and shortened. Your actual stored values are never modified — only log output is redacted.

---

## Real-World Example 🌍

```typescript
import { Smartconfig, AppData, KeyValueStore } from '@push.rocks/smartconfig';

interface CliConfig {
  githubToken: string;
  model: 'gpt-3' | 'gpt-4';
  cache: { enabled: boolean; ttl: number };
}

// Tool-level config from .smartconfig.json
const sc = new Smartconfig();
const toolDefaults = sc.dataFor('mycli', { defaultModel: 'gpt-3' });

// Env-mapped runtime config
const appData = await AppData.createAndInit<CliConfig>({
  requiredKeys: ['githubToken'],
  envMapping: {
    githubToken: 'GITHUB_TOKEN',
    model: 'hard:gpt-4',
    cache: {
      enabled: 'boolean:ENABLE_CACHE',
      ttl: 'hard:3600',
    },
  },
});

// Persistent user-level cache
const cache = new KeyValueStore({
  typeArg: 'userHomeDir',
  identityArg: 'mycli-cache',
});

// Check mandatory keys
const missing = await appData.logMissingKeys();
if (missing.length > 0) {
  console.error('Missing config — set these env vars and retry.');
  process.exit(1);
}

const store = await appData.getKvStore();
const settings = await store.readAll();
console.log(`Model: ${settings.model}, Cache: ${settings.cache.enabled}`);
```
