Seude

Seude is a module, inspired by dotenv, for loading environment variables from a seude.env.json file into process.env. The difference is that you must declare the environment for the imported function so that it could do a lookup in the JSON file to load any required environment variables.

Install

npm install seude or yarn add seude

Create a seude.env.json file and add specific variables needed in JSON relative to the root property.

Example:

{
    "test": {
        "DATABASE": "mongodb://localhost:27017/test",
        "BACKEND_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000/"
    },
    "qa": {
        "DATABASE": "mongodb://localhost:27017/test",
        "BACKEND_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000/"
    },
    "production": {
        "DATABASE": "mongodb://localhost:27017/test",
        "BACKEND_ENDPOINT": "http://localhost:3000/"
    }
}

It's that simple.

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const seude = require('seude')

seude('test')
mongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE)

Reason

The reason for building another environment variable manager is to help manage multiple environments and to simplify testing variables in different in environments.
