Configuration

Configuration is a storage of an arbitrary data in the .configuration metadata of stamp's descriptor.
let HaveApiKey = stampit({
  conf: {
    apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
  }
})
​
HaveApiKey.compose.configuration.apiKey === process.env.API_KEY
You can set configuration in static methods:
HaveApiKey = HaveApiKey.statics({
  setApiKey(key) {
    return this.conf({ apiKey: key }) // create new stamp by composing parent stamp with some configuration
  }
})
​
HaveApiKey = HaveApiKey.setApiKey('abcd1234')
​
HaveApiKey.compose.configuration.apiKey === 'abcd1234'
You can access the configuration in stamp initializers (aka constructors).
const ApiKeyPrinter = HaveApiKey.init(function (opts, { stamp }) {
  const configuration = stamp.compose.configuration
​
  console.log(configuration.apiKey) // It is perfectly safe to log secret API keys. Right?
})
​
HaveApiKey() // this will execute the initializer, and will print "abcd1234" to the console
Descriptor merging algorithm
The configuration properties are copied by assignment. In other words - by reference using Object.assign.
HaveApiKey.compose.configuration.apiKey === ApiKeyPrinter.compose.configuration.apiKey
In case of conflicts the last composed property wins.
Other ways to add configuration
Exactly the same stamp can be created in few ways. Here they all are.
const HasLog = stampit({
  conf: {
    apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
  }
})
​
const HasLog = stampit({
  configuration: {
    apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
  }
})
​
const HasLog = stampit.conf({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
})
​
const HasLog = stampit.configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
})
​
const HasLog = stampit().conf({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
})
​
const HasLog = stampit().configuration({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
})
