I've updated the node.js cfenv package at npm:
- moved from the netherworld of 0.x.y versioned packages to version 1.0.0
- updated some of the package dependencies
- added a new
appEnv.getServiceCreds(spec)method
In case you're not familiar with the cfenv package, it's intended to be the
swiss army knife of handling your Cloud Foundry runtime environment variables,
including: PORT, VCAP_SERVICES, and VCAP_APPLICATION.
Here's a quick example that doesn't including accessing services in
VCAP_SERVICES:
You can start your server with this kind of snippet, which provides the correct port, binding address, and url of the running server; and it will run locally as well as on CloudFoundry.

you can now do this, using the new
appEnv.getServiceCreds(spec)
API:
No need to get the whole service if you don't need it, and you don't have to
type out credentials all the time :-)
what else?
What other gadgets does cfenv need? If you have thoughts, don't hesitate
to open an issue, send a pull request, etc.
