zv-load.env

Get configuration file and load entries as environment variables.

Basic Usage

require( 'zv-load.env' )();

The above code loads configurations specified in the .env file in the application's root directory.

Use the above code as soon as possible (topmost part) in the main (e.g. index.js or app.js) script.

To load configurations from a custom file, specify its absolute path as an argument, e.g.

require( 'zv-load.env' )( PATH_TO_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE );

Configurations will now be loaded as part of the appliation's environment variables process.env. To access configurations, e.g.

• .env

DATABASE_USER=user
DATABASE_PASSWORD=password

console.log( process.env.DATABASE_USER, process.env.DATABASE_PASSWORD );

// outputs user password
