define-env v1.0.3

This package allows you to define environmental variables alongside their default development values.

If the values are missing it will throw an exception. This ensures production code always contains the expected environmental variables.

Quick Start

const envVar = defineEnv(e => ({
    secret: e.VITE_SECRET,
    mongo: {
        uri: e.VITE_MONGOURI,
        database: e.VITE_MONGODATABASE
    },
	isNumber: e.VITE_NUMBER(parseFloat)
}),
/** Development default values */
{
    secret: 'dev',
    mongo: {
        uri: 'mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017',
        database: 'test-db',
    },
    isNumber: '25'
})

Example exception

These environment variables are missing:
   
    mongo: 
        uri: VITE_MONGOURI
  

In-depth

Create your env variable

import defineEnv from 'define-env'

const envVar = defineEnv(e => ({...}))

export default envVar

Use e to access ENV variables

const envVar = defineEnv(e => ({
    secret: e.VITE_SECRET,
    mongo: {
        uri: e.VITE_MONGOURI,
        database: e.VITE_MONGODATABASE
    },
}))

Format a value if it exists, to ex. a number

const envVar = defineEnv(e => ({
    number: e.VITE_NUMBER(parseFloat),
    upper: e.VITE_SOMESTR(v => v.toUpperCase())
}))

Set default values for development.

const envVar = defineEnv(e => ({
    secret: e.VITE_SECRET,
    mongo: {
        uri: e.VITE_MONGOURI,
        database: e.VITE_MONGODATABASE
    },
    isNumber: e.VITE_NUMBER(parseFloat)
}),
/** Development default values */
{
    secret: 'dev',
    mongo: {
        uri: 'mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017',
        database: 'test-db',
    },
    isNumber: '25'
})

Example exception:

    mongo: 
        uri: VITE_MONGOURI
