Enable multiple environments per project about swiff HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah you're right, it'll be more complex to deal with the issues around combining the configs.
Going with separate config files means the 'multiple configs' feature could be optional.

For the time being you could try automating the config swap.
Maybe you could use a package.json script like this?

"scripts": {
    "swapconfig": "mv swiff.config.js tmp && mv swiff.secondary.js swiff.config.js && mv tmp swiff.secondary.js"
  },

I agree - configuring Swiff for additional environments would be genuinely useful.
I'll look into adding this, thanks for the idea

For the time being Swiff is focussed on "Local <> Staging server" functionality so closing this for now.

@ben-rogerson Wondering, if in the interim, a cli param could be added to designate a config file?

Such as
swiff --config staging.swiff.js
swiff --config production.swiff.js
(config file could be named whatever, as long as it's parsable by swiff)

We currently have multiple config files & renaming.

@chasegiunta I'm thinking multiple configs would be a great feature for the release after next.
Here's some thoughts:

• I'd like to specify the config via flags and/or the interface
• Config file naming should be enforced: swiff.[staging/production/etc].js
• The flag to specify a config could be: swiff --config staging or swiff staging
• I'd need to display the current loaded config in the interface
• A new options screen to switch configs would be needed
• A reference to the last used config could be stored

Let me know what you think

@ben-rogerson The additional config files were simply a workaround. I don't think, long-term, it would make sense for a config file per environment. My guess would be that placing them in one file massively complicates things with how everything is currently being done, though.

Understandably, if it's too much work right now for a feature you personally may not even use, what you've suggested sounds great.
