3## 5.0.1
4
5The API has been completely revamped to increase clarity and enable a very wide range of new usage. **Please read the readme for all the details.**
6
7While the defaults remain just as useful as before — and you can still pass no options at all — now you can also do all kinds of wild and crazy things.
8
9- The `loaders` option allows you specify custom functions to derive config objects from files. Your loader functions could parse ES2015 modules or TypeScript, JSON5, even INI or XML. Whatever suits you.
10- The `searchPlaces` option allows you to specify exactly where cosmiconfig looks within each directory it searches.
11- The combination of `loaders` and `searchPlaces` means that you should be able to load pretty much any kind of configuration file you want, from wherever you want it to look.
12
13Additionally, the overloaded `load()` function has been split up into several clear and focused functions:
14
15- `search()` now searches up the directory tree, and `load()` loads a configuration file that you don't need to search for.
16- The `sync` option has been replaced with separate synchronous functions: `searchSync()` and `loadSync()`.
17- `clearFileCache()` and `clearDirectoryCache()` have been renamed to `clearLoadCache()` and `clearSearchPath()` respectively.
18
19More details:
20
21- The default JS loader uses `require`, instead of `require-from-string`. So you *could* use `require` hooks to control the loading of JS files (e.g. pass them through esm or Babel). In most cases it is probably preferable to use a custom loader.
22- The options `rc`, `js`, and `rcExtensions` have all been removed. You can accomplish the same and more with `searchPlaces`.
23- The default `searchPlaces` include `rc` files with extensions, e.g. `.thingrc.json`, `.thingrc.yaml`, `.thingrc.yml`. This is the equivalent of switching the default value of the old `rcExtensions` option to `true`.
24- The option `rcStrictJson` has been removed. To get the same effect, you can specify `noExt: cosmiconfig.loadJson` in your `loaders` object.
25- `packageProp` no longer accepts `false`. If you don't want to look in `package.json`, write a `searchPlaces` array that does not include it.
26- By default, empty files are ignored by `search()`. The new option `ignoreEmptySearchPlaces` allows you to load them, instead, in case you want to do something with empty files.
27- The option `configPath` has been removed. Just pass your filepaths directory to `load()`.
28- Removed the `format` option. Formats are now all handled via the file extensions specified in `loaders`.
29
30(If you're wondering with happened to 5.0.0 ... it was a silly publishing mistake.)
31
32## 4.0.0
33
34- Licensing improvement: updated `parse-json` from `3.0.0` to `4.0.0`(see [sindresorhus/parse-json#12][parse-json-pr-12]).
35- Changed: error message format for `JSON` parse errors(see [#101][pr-101]). If you were relying on the format of JSON-parsing error messages, this will be a breaking change for you.
36- Changed: set default for `searchPath` as `process.cwd()` in `explorer.load`.
37
38## 3.1.0
39
40- Added: infer format based on filePath
41
42## 3.0.1
43
44- Fixed: memory leak due to bug in `require-from-string`.
45- Added: for JSON files, append position to end of error message.
46
47## 3.0.0
48
49- Removed: support for loading config path using the `--config` flag. cosmiconfig will not parse command line arguments. Your application can parse command line arguments and pass them to cosmiconfig.
50- Removed: `argv` config option.
51- Removed: support for Node versions < 4.
52- Added: `sync` option.
53- Fixed: Throw a clear error on getting empty config file.
54- Fixed: when a `options.configPath` is `package.json`, return the package prop, not the entire JSON file.
55
56## 2.2.2
57
58- Fixed: `options.configPath` and `--config` flag are respected.
59
60## 2.2.0, 2.2.1
61
62- 2.2.0 included a number of improvements but somehow broke stylelint. The changes were reverted in 2.2.1, to be restored later.
63
64## 2.1.3
65
66- Licensing improvement: switched from `json-parse-helpfulerror` to `parse-json`.
67
68## 2.1.2
69
70- Fixed: bug where an `ENOENT` error would be thrown is `searchPath` referenced a non-existent file.
71- Fixed: JSON parsing errors in Node v7.
72
73## 2.1.1
74
75- Fixed: swapped `graceful-fs` for regular `fs`, fixing a garbage collection problem.
76
77## 2.1.0
78
79- Added: Node 0.12 support.
80
81## 2.0.2
82
83- Fixed: Node version specified in `package.json`.
84
85## 2.0.1
86
87- Fixed: no more infinite loop in Windows.
88
89## 2.0.0
90
91- Changed: module now creates cosmiconfig instances with `load` methods (see README).
92- Added: caching (enabled by the change above).
93- Removed: support for Node versions <4.
