API

var township = Township(opts)

Options include:

opts = {
  server: 'https://api.township.com',// Township API server
  config: {
    filename: '.townshiprc', // configuration filename (stored in os homedir)
    filepath: '~/.townshiprc' // specify a full config file path 
  },
  routes: { // routes for ALL township servers used by client

opts.server can be set once on initialization or during each request. The client can handle multiple servers. opts.server can be passed with each request if the request should go to a different server than the client was initialized with.
