Dotenv-setup NPM

The .env generator you can bundle with your project

Not having the .env in git makes your life easier, but it may be confusing for new users. This package solves it. You define the variables and the user just runs a script which asks him what to fill in and then generates the .env file. Easy.

Usage

1. Add `dotenv-setup` to your dependencies

yarn add dotenv-setup
# OR
npm install dotenv-setup

Q: Why not CLI?\ A: You can bundle it with your boilerplate this way!

2. Create your dotenv-setup configuration file (e.g. `setup.js`)

// setup.js contents
require('dotenv-setup')([
    {
        name: "VARIABLE_ONE",
        message: "Description for the VARIABLE_ONE",
        type: Boolean
    }, 
    {
        name: "VARIABLE_TWO",
        message: "Description for the VARIABLE_TWO",
        type: Number
    },
    {
        name: "VARIABLE_THREE",
        message: "Description for the VARIABLE_THREE",
        type: String
    }
])
