Module Options
The modopts.ini configuration file (located in the Synchronet ctrl directory) is used for the configuration of various Synchronet JavaScript modules.
This file (and its corresponding load library: modopts.js) allows multiple modules to be configured in a single file rather than requiring a separate configuration file for each module that has configurable behavior. That said, it is only appropriate for simple enable/disable or option=value type configuration; modules requiring more complex configuration may still necessitate their own separate configuration files.
Format
Each named section identifies the module which is being configured and the key=value pairs in that section are used to set configuration options for that module.
Use
JavaScript module authors use the modopts.ini file by adding a single line to their .js file:
options=load(new Object, "modopts.js", "mymodule");
where “mymodule” is replaced with the JavaScript's module name (typically the module's main script filename, without the .js extension).
As a result of this line being executed, the options object is created with each key in the module's named section becoming a property of the options object with a value (Number, Bool, or String) containing the value portion of the key=value line.
Example modopts.ini section:
[mymodule] enable_cool_feature=true
Example module use of modopts in a fictional example module named “mymodule” (e.g. mymodule.js):
options=load(new Object, "modopts.js", "mymodule"); if(options && options.enable_cool_feature==true) do_cool_feature();
