cosmiconfig

Added searchStrategy option:

• The none value means that cosmiconfig does not traverse any directories upwards.

  • Breaking change: This is the default value if you don't pass a stopDir option, which means that cosmiconfig no longer traverses directories by default, and instead just looks in the current working directory.

    • If you want to achieve maximum backwards compatibility without adding an explicit stopDir, add the searchStrategy: 'global' option.

• The project value means that cosmiconfig traverses upwards until it finds a package.json (or .yaml) file.

• The global value means that cosmiconfig traverses upwards until the passed stopDir, or your home directory if no stopDir is given.

Meta config files (i.e. config.js and similar) are not looked for in the current working directory anymore. Instead, it looks in the .config subfolder.

When defining searchPlaces in a meta config file, the tool-defined searchPlaces are merged into this. Users may specify mergeSearchPlaces: false to disable this.

Added support for a special $import key which will import another configuration file

• The imported file will act as a base file - all properties from that file will be applied to the configuration, but can be overridden by the importing file

• For more information, read the import section of the README

Added searching in OS conventional folders (XDG compatible on Linux, %APPDATA% on Windows, Library/Preferences on macOS) for searchStrategy: 'global'
