Async Configuration Values

[Ryan8765]

I'm trying to obtain async configurations for my application (I need to make calls to Amazon Secrete Manager to obtain certain configs for security reasons).

I'm attempting to get node-config to utilize an async function that returns a promise. I modified my config to a .js file and am utilizing the "asyncConfig" method available on node-config with no luck Link to Node-Config Raw:

Any idea? Or possibly any better ways to do this?

Config File and error below:

const asyncConfig = require('config/async').asyncConfig;
const axios = require('axios');

const seriousSecret = async () => {
  return await axios({
    method: 'get',
    url: 'https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random'
  }).then((res)=>{
    return res.data.value;
  });
};

module.exports = {
  host: "localhost",
  port: 3030,
  public: "../public/",
  testing: asyncConfig(seriousSecret),
  paginate: {
    default: 10,
    max: 50
  },
  authentication: {
    entity: "user",
    service: "users",
    secret: "9pKAfA/aJR0eMtp9P3nURwkuopg=",
    authStrategies: [
      "jwt",
      "local"
    ],
    jwtOptions: {
      header: {
        typ: "access"
      },
      audience: "https://yourdomain.com",
      issuer: "feathers",
      algorithm: "HS256",
      expiresIn: "1d"
    },
    local: {
      usernameField: "email",
      passwordField: "password"
    }
  },
  nedb: "../data"
};

error:

output:

{ async: Symbol(asyncSymbol), prepare: [Function (anonymous)], release: [Function (anonymous)] }

Using const testing = await app.get('testing') in your code should still give you the resolved value.
