not-dotenv v1.0.0

Remake of dotenv that loads Environment Variables from JS or JSON files (by default .env.js or .env.json)

Install

$ npm i not-dotenv

Use

Create a .env.js or .env.json file in the root directory of your project (by default .env.js will be loaded in case both are present)

module.exports = {
    HELLO: 'WORLD from .env.js'
}

Or

{
    "HELLO": "WORLD from .env.json"
}

Require not-dotenv and invoke .config(), then use the environment variables loaded in process.env

require('not-dotenv').config()

console.log(process.env.HELLO)
// WORLD from .env.js

• In case you want to load environment variables from a specific location, set the path property in the optional configuration settings

require('not-dotenv').config({ path: './.env.json' })

console.log(process.env.HELLO)
// WORLD from .env.json

• You can also get the environment variables loaded in the returned object through its parsed property

const result = require('not-dotenv').config()

console.log(result.parsed.HELLO)
// WORLD from .env.js

• Or check the error in case it happens during the loading process

const result = require('not-dotenv').config({ path: 'wrong path' })

console.log(result.error)
// ERROR ...
