extend-env-files
Overview
extend-env-files
is an NPX module that helps to prepend and merge environment variables into specific files based on a configuration. The configuration is provided via the ENV_FILES_CONFIG
environment variable, formatted as a JSON object. Each key in this JSON object is a file path, and the associated value is a string containing .env
-style key-value pairs.
This module ensures that the specified environment variables are prepended to or merged into the files, overriding any existing variables with the same key.
Installation
No installation is required for this module since it will be run using npx
.
npx extend-env-files
Usage
To use this module, set the ENV_FILES_CONFIG
environment variable with a JSON configuration. The JSON keys are file paths, and the values are .env
strings containing key-value pairs. When you run the module, it will:
- Check if the target directory and file exist.
- Merge the new key-value pairs with any existing content in the file.
- Save the modified content back to the file.
Example
export ENV_FILES_CONFIG='{"./config/.env": "KEY_A=1\nKEY_B=2", "./config/.env.local": "KEY_C=3"}'
npx extend-env-files
In the example above:
- The file
./config/.env
will be updated withKEY_A=1
andKEY_B=2
. - The file
./config/.env.local
will be updated withKEY_C=3
.
Logging
To enable logging, set the DEBUG
environment variable to any non-empty value:
DEBUG=1 npx extend-env-files
This will output logs such as the parsed configuration, the original and new content of each file, and other information about the execution process.
Configuration
The configuration for ENV_FILES_CONFIG
must be provided as a valid JSON object where:
- Key: The path of the file you want to update (relative or absolute).
- Value: A string containing
.env
key-value pairs.
Example ENV_FILES_CONFIG
value:
{
"./config/.env": "KEY_A=1\nKEY_B=2",
"./config/.env.local": "KEY_C=3"
}
This will ensure that KEY_A
and KEY_B
are added to ./config/.env
, and KEY_C
is added to ./config/.env.local
.
