specific doc
To include all data sets, add the following to your global configuration file:
data_config: true
{
"data_config": true
}module.exports = {
data_config: true
};Include only select data sets with specific keys:
data_config:
authors: true
offices: true
{
"data_config": {
"authors": true,
"offices": true
}
}module.exports = {
data_config: {
authors: true,
offices: true
}

To include data sets with specific keys, reader parses files and folders listed in data_config. In the following
example global configuration there are two data sets:
authorswhich is read from the contents of a single fileofficeswhich is read from the contents of each file in a directory
data_config:
authors:
path: data/authors.csv
offices:
path: data/offices
parser: json
{
"data_config": {
"authors": {
"path": "data/authors.csv"
},
"offices": {
"path": "data/offices",
"parser": "json"
}
}
}module.exports = {
data_config: {
authors: {
