Env Modify

Add, edit, delete and read variables from a .env file.

This was originally built with Gulp tasks streams in mind, but Gulp is not actually a requirement. This tool can used as a standalone node package.

Installation

npm i gulp-env-modify --save

Setup

const envmod = require('gulp-env-modify')
const env = envmod.getData()
console.log(env)

Data functions

Get File [string]

Get the .env file contents as a string

envmod.getFile()

First parameter can be the path to your .env file relative to the gulpfile.js

Get Data [object]

Get the .env file content with all the variables and values passed into an object

envmod.getData()

First parameter can be a direct request for a variable. Second parameter can be the path to your .env file relative to the gulpfile.js

Get & Set functions

Set Variable

Add a variable and value to the .env file. Variable will be created if it isn't found. It will be overwritten if it does exists.

envmod.setVariable(variable, value)

Get Variable [string]

Get variable from .env file.

envmod.getVariable(variable)

Couldn't have built this without gulp-dotenv. Thank you.
