Add configurability - Githubissues

dividedmind commented 11 months ago

Fixes #69

Here's how it works:

First, the appmap root is located. This is found by looking from the current directory up to find appmap.yml; if not found, then package.json; else the current directory is root.
The root directory is where all the relative paths are resolved with.
./appmap.yml is read; if present, configuration from there is loaded.
If application name is not configured, it's read from package.json (if present) or the root directory name is used.
If appmap_dir is not defined, ./tmp/appmap is used.
Packages can be defined by path:; exclude: can be provided to exclude code by path, function name or qualified method name.
If no packages are defined, {path: "."; exclude: ["node_modules", ".yarn"]} is used.
Packages are matched (to source path) in the order they're defined.

Can you provide a reference to how this works? It will be needed for the docs anyway and is pretty essential for an efficient review.

I had added some information in the readme already; I'll add an overview here.
