var path = require('path');

module.exports = {

    site: {

        contactEmail: '[email protected]',

        baseUrl: http://localhost:3000/,

        uploadPath: path.join(__dirname, '../public'),

        language:'en'

    },

    mongodb: {

         url: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/psp',

    }

}

I have set static baseUrl in my config file in node.js.How can I do dynamic in different servers?

like:-

var http = require('http');

var url = require('url') ;



http.createServer(function (req, res) {

  var hostname = req.headers.host; // hostname = 'localhost:8080'

  var pathname = url.parse(req.url).pathname; // pathname = '/MyApp'

  console.log('http://' + hostname + pathname);



  res.writeHead(200);

  res.end();

}).listen(8080);

var hostname = req.headers.host; // hostname = 'localhost:8080'

i want this type of output in my config file.

As all we know module.exports return a javascript object. so we can use get/set property for changing the value of any property of object.

module.exports={

  baseUrl : /xyz,

  setBaseUrl : function(url){

    this.baseUrl = url;

  }

  getBaseUrl : function(){

    return this.baseUrl;

  }

}



var http = require('http');

var url = require('url') ;

var config = require('path/to/your/configFile');



http.createServer(function (req, res) {

  var hostname = req.headers.host; // hostname = 'localhost:8080'

   config.setBaseUrl(hostname);

  var pathname = url.parse(req.url).pathname; // pathname = '/MyApp'

  console.log('http://' + congif.getBaseUrl() + pathname);



  res.writeHead(200);

  res.end();

}).listen(8080);
