Source.env

Tiny library to load (bash) sourceable .env files.

Files can be in the format:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
export STR_VAR="value" # Supports inline comments 
export NUM_VAR=123
export NULL_VAR=

And also without the export statements:

STR_VAR="value" # Supports inline comments 
NUM_VAR=123
NULL_VAR=

Useful when dealing with files that are also loaded via scripts, ie. source .env.test

Usage

Require the library before anything else in your application.

Load default .env file:

require('source-dot-env')();

Load a specific file:

require('source-dot-env')('.env.development');

Return the loaded env vars:

const env = require('source-dot-env')();

// env = {
//   NODE_ENV: 'development',
//   PORT: 8080
// }
