@roninjin10/typesafe-env v0.0.1

typesafe-env

Simple package for creating typesafe envs. It is a very light wrapper around zod

Getting started

1. Install typesafe-env

npm i -D @roninjin10/typesafe-env

2. Install peer dependencies if not already installed

npm i -D @roninjin10/typesafe-env

3. Create a config for your env variables

const validators = {
  // Provide a description if you want to automatically generate documentation
  SERVICE_URI: z.string().url().describe('The URI to connect to ')

  HOST: z.string().default('localhost').describe(`HOST server should connect to
       Must be set to 0.0.0.0 in a docker container`),

  PORT: z
    .string()
    .transform((val) => Number.parseInt(val))
    .default('7300')
    .describe('PORT server should connect to'),
}

4. Parse process.env (or any other object)

import { typesafeEnv } from '@roninjin10/typesafe-env'
export const env = typesafeEnv(validators, process.env)
env.PORT // type number
env.HOST // type string
// @ts-expect-error
env.NOT_ON_ENV

You now have an env object that will be 100% typesafe with autocompletion in your editor! This will defend against misconfigurations.

Automatically generate documentation

typesafe-env provides an easy way of turning your env validators into documentation

envSchema.ts

import { validators } from './env'
import { generateEnvDocs } from '@roninjin10/typesafe-env'

console.log(generateEnvDocs)

Then if you run ts-node envSchema you will get this printed to console

Environment Variables schema

SERVICE_URI
    The URI to connect to

HOST
    HOST server should connect to

PORT
    PORT server should ocnnect to
