How to use the nconf.File function in nconf

Scaffold.prototype.init = function init(location) {
  // Only provide file bindings for the moment.
  this.conf = new nconf.File({ file: location });
  this.conf.loadSync();

  // This will ensure a saved file always includes an configuration and bundle.
  if (!this.conf.get('configuration')) this.conf.set('configuration', {});
  if (!this.conf.get('bundle')) this.conf.set('bundle', {});

  return this;
};
