Dotenv-expand adds variable expansion on top of 
[dotenv](http://github.com/motdotla/dotenv). If you find yourself needing to
expand environment variables already existing on your machine, then
dotenv-expand is your tool.

## Install

```bash
npm install @chatopera/dotenv --save
```

## Usage

Define vars in .env

```
OTHER_ENV=foo
YOUR_ENV_VAR=$OTHER_ENV/bar
```

As early as possible in your application, require dotenv and dotenv-expand, and
wrap dotenv expand around dotenv.

```js
require('@chatopera/dotenv').config(process.cwd() + '/.env')
process.env["YOUR_ENV_VAR"]
```

See [test/.env](./test/.env) for examples of variable expansion in your `.env`
file.
