Configure ets

ets reads a configuration file if present. The data format is toml, which is a simple key=value format. The configuration file is called ets.cfg and can contain the following keys and values.

Key	Value type	Description
loglevel	string	One of 'debug', 'info', 'warn' or 'error'
verbose	boolean	When set to true, the logging is also copied to the standard output

Example

loglevel="debug"
verbose=true

Command line

Run ets options command filename.js in the terminal. For example ets --verbose main.js. Each of the options and the command is optional.

Command	Description
help	Show help and exit
version	Show version information and exit

Option	Value type	Description
--help, -h	-	Show help and exit
--loglevel	string	One of 'debug', 'info', 'warn' or 'error'
--verbose	-	When set to true, the logging is also copied to the standard output

Startup-JavaScript

When started, the software reads a file called ets.js if present. This is a good place to insert some defaults or some helper functions.

The name of the binary

The binary is called ets.exe on Windows and ets on all other systems. You can rename the binary, which has the consequence that the lookup of the configuration and the startup files are performed under the new binary name. For example a binary called foo (foo.exe) looks for a startup file foo.js and a configuration file foo.cfg.
