I suppose one could forego the config.json file completely and use environment variables to configure their NodeBB. The properties are the same.
url=http://localhost:4567 database=redis node app.js etc...
Hooray! Now we can see widespread adoption by 2018! XD
Sarcasm aside this will be incredibly useful once some nice backwards compatible shims are created. The way NodeBB handles forms at the moment is, for lack of a better word, a workaround.
Nice to see the W3 community has a sense of humour
EXAMPLE 6: Such Deep
<form enctype='application/json'>
<input name='wow[such][deep][3][much][power][!]' value='Amaze'>
</form>
// produces
{
"wow": {
"such": {
"deep": [
null
, null
, null
, {
"much": {
"power": {
"!": "Amaze"
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
