mountenv

Features:

• extends dotenv functionality
• supports loading .env files under CWD or a specific directory
• auto loads .env.dev when NODE_ENV === 'development' (in addition)
• auto loads .env.prod when NODE_ENV === 'production' (in addition)
• auto loads .env.staging when NODE_ENV === 'staging' (in addition)
• auto loads .env.test when NODE_ENV === 'test' (in addition)

mountenv.load([dir])

Loads env files in the provided directory and extends current process environment. dir defaults to process.cwd().

require('mountenv').load()

mountenv.get([dir])

Loads env files in the provided directory and returns the result object (does NOT extend current process environment). dir defaults to process.cwd().

var result = require('mountenv').get('./config/')

mountenv.getAll([dir])

Loads env files in the provided directory and returns the result object including definitions from current process.env (does NOT extend current process environment). dir defaults to process.cwd().

var result = require('mountenv').get('./config/')

mountenv.parse(string)

Parses the provided string as an env file and returns the result object.

var env = `
    ABC=123
    DEF=456
`
var result = require('mountenv').parse(env)

Custom env file name

By default, mountenv looks for files starting with .env in the cwd:

├── .env
├── .env.dev
└── .env.prod
└── .env.test

If you want mountenv to look for files with a different prefix, pass {basename:'mycustomname'} as the 2nd argument for any of the above mentioned methods:

require('mountenv').load(null, {basename:'.myenv'})

Variable expansion

By default variable expansion is turned on so if you want mountenv to resolve nested variables pass {expand:true} as the 2nd argument for any of the above mentioned methods:

require('mountenv').parse(`
    PROJECT_DIR=$HOME/this-project
`, {expand:true}) //-> {PROJECT_DIR: 'Users/thisuser/this-project'}

Syntax Rules
