env-file-parser

Parses an env file into a plain object.

Example

// ./file.env
// it works = true
// # it most definitely does.

// ./file.js
const {parse} = require('env-file-parser')
parser('./file.env').then(result => {
  assert.deepEqual(result, {'it works': true})
})

Env files

• Whitespace is trimmed from values
• You can include quotes around values to include whitespace
• Comments start with a #
• Blank lines are ignored
• true/false values are parsed into booleans

API

• parse parses the provided file, returns a promise resolved to a plain object
• parseSync parses the provided file, returns a plain object

In all cases, fs errors will be thrown back to you and no sanity check is done on input arguments. Give me junk, and junk you shall receive.

arguments:

• {string} filePath - will be passed to the fs module to load the file. toString will be called on the result
• {object} [options] - will be passed to readFile / readFileSync call
• {function} [callback] - you can use node-style callbacks as well (parse only)
