dotenv-jsonc v1.0.1

Dotenv JSONC

Simple library for loading your .env.json file containing JSONC.

Overview

• You are expected to have a .env.jsonc, or .env.json, or .env file containing JSON, with optional comments in it, at the root of your current working directory.
• If none of those files are found this library will throw.
• When reading environment variables the file is simply only parsed with jsonc-simple-parser.
• When extending environment variables values are always casted to strings first.

Install

npm install --save dotenv-jsonc

Usage

Example .env.json file:

{
  // You can use comments, if you want to
  "S3_BUCKET": "BUCKET_NAME",
  "S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD": "BUCKET_PASSWORD"
}

Read the content of your .env.json file, without extending environment variables:

import Dotenv from 'dotenv-jsonc';

console.log ( Dotenv ); // => { S3_BUCKET: "BUCKET_NAME", S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD: "BUCKET_PASSWORD" }
console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET ); // => undefined
console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD ); // => undefined

Read the content of your .env.json file, and extend environment variables:

import Dotenv from 'dotenv-jsonc/register';

console.log ( Dotenv ); // => { S3_BUCKET: "BUCKET_NAME", S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD: "BUCKET_PASSWORD" }
console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET ); // => "BUCKET_NAME"
console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD ); // => "BUCKET_PASSWORD"

Just extend environment variables:

import 'dotenv-jsonc/register';

console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET ); // => "BUCKET_NAME"
console.log ( process.env.S3_BUCKET_PASSWORD ); // => "BUCKET_PASSWORD"

Simple, right?
