Envars CLI

envars is a tool to set Environment Variables using a JSON database file.

The command line tool reads ENVARS_JSON_PATH and sets the variables for a project whose name is equal to the current directory.

Database of variables (e.g. envars.json)

The path of the database file must be specified by an environment variable named ENVARS_JSON_PATH.

{
  "myapp": {
    "dev": {
      "APP_NAME": "my application 😄",
      "EMPTY_VAR": ""
    },
    "prod": {
      "APP_NAME": "my application 😄 [production]",
      "EMPTY_VAR": "<must-not-be-empty>"
    }
  }
}
