envoodoo

Environment variable loader

The 'env voodoo' under the hood is node streams! (FTW)

Description

This module loads environment files into process.env for you. By default it looks for a .env file in your project root but you can pass in a path to any other files you might wish to load environment variables from.

Usage

Basic usage examples

Loading a .env file in the root of the project

require('envoodoo')()

Loading a file somewhere else

var envoodoo = require('envoodoo')
envoodoo('path/to/.env')
// or
envoodoo('path/to/.env', function(err) {
  // do something
})

Loading multiple files

var envoodoo = require('envoodoo')
envoodoo() //loads default .env
envoodoo('path/to/file1')
envoodoo('path/to/file2')

.env files

envoodoo generally handles simple KEY=VALUE .env files.

However, note the following:

  • KEY='VALUE' is acceptable
  • KEY="VALUE" is acceptable
  • export KEY=VALUE is also acceptable, envoodoo will strip the export from the start
  • comments using a hash (#) - are acceptable and will be ignored by envoodoo
  • empty lines - are acceptable and will be ignored by envoodoo

Example .env file

# My .env file

# user information
NAME=bob
AGE=31

# using export keyword
export ANIMAL=cat

# crazy key strings with weird characters
KEY1='12@3$%^asd'
KEY2="12@3$%^asd"

If this file were to be loaded with envoodoo, then:

process.env.NAME   === 'bob'
process.env.AGE    === '31'
process.env.ANIMAL === 'cat'
process.env.KEY1   === '12@3$%^asd'
process.env.KEY2   === '12@3$%^asd'
