@intermatter/envelope v1.1.7

Envelope

NPM package to enable cross-platform workflows with environment variables.

Installation

npm -i @intermatter/envelope

Usage

envelope RELATIVE_PATH/ENVIRONMENT_NAME 'COMMAND'

RELATIVE_PATH: specifies the location of the .env.ENVIRONMENT_NAME file relative to the package's root directory. If the dotenv file is located in the root directory, then ./ or NULL is used for RELATIVE_PATH.

ENVIRONMENT_NAME: myEnvironmentFile will set the file .env.myEnvironmentFile in the root of the package as the source of environment variables applied to the enclosed script.

COMMAND: Any npm-compatible or os-compatible command

##Example:

scripts:
{
    "some:test": "envelope ../development 'echo $FOO_BAR'"
}

Notice

• If using double qoutes to enclose the command, it is necessary to manually escape the quotes and double escape $ character.
• Using the absolute path for the environment file is not supported.

scripts:
{
    "some:test": "envelope development \"echo \\$FOO_BAR\""
}

Motivation

There is a number of cross-platform, portability and usability issues with other NPM packages that are designed to achieve similar functionality.
