support for explicit "public" settings, serialization for client?.. about node-convict HOT 2 CLOSED

Hello @busticated,

I understand the scenario you are describing but I don't see it as a common usecase and thus, in my opinion, it shouldn't be implemented in node-convict. If possible this functionality should be implemented in a new module called, for example, node-convict-scoped that would be using node-convict as a dependency.

But if while implementing the new module you notice that small modifications in node-convict would ease your work, please let us know.

When I first started to use node-convict I wanted to contribute new functionalities. But then I realized that those would be of use for just my very-specific usecases. And thus I have made private modules extending node-convict. node-convict should be kept as small as possible cf. http://substack.net/node_aesthetic

Best
