# pkg-conf [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/pkg-conf.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/pkg-conf)
> Get namespaced config from the closest package.json
Having tool specific config in package.json reduces the amount of metafiles in your repo (there are usually a lot!) and makes the config obvious compared to hidden dotfiles like `.jshintrc`, which can end up causing confusion. [XO](https://github.com/sindresorhus/xo), for example, use the `xo` namespace in package.json, and [ESLint](http://eslint.org) uses `eslintConfig`. Many more tools supports this, like [AVA](https://ava.li), [Babel](https://babeljs.io), [nyc](https://github.com/bcoe/nyc), etc.
## Install
```
$ npm install --save pkg-conf
```
## Usage
```json
{
"name": "some-package",
"version": "1.0.0",
"unicorn": {
"rainbow": true
}
}
```
```js
const pkgConf = require('pkg-conf');
pkgConf('unicorn').then(config => {
console.log(config.rainbow);
//=> true
});
```
## API
It [walks up](https://github.com/sindresorhus/find-up) parent directories until a `package.json` can be found, reads it, and returns the user specified namespace or an empty object if not found.
### pkgConf(namespace, [options])
Returns a promise that resolves to the config.
### pkgConf.sync(namespace, [options])
Returns the config.
#### namespace
Type: `string`
The package.json namespace you want.
#### options
##### cwd
Type: `string`<br>
Default: `process.cwd()`
Directory to start looking up for a package.json file.
##### defaults
Type: `Object`<br>
Default config.
### pkgConf.filepath(config)
Pass in the `config` returned from any of the above methods.
Returns the filepath to the package.json file or `null`.
