safer-dotenv v1.0.0

Overview

An type-safe extension of dotenv-safe that loads all environment variables from .env. There muse be a .env.example file in the project that declares the names of these vars and it should be committed along with your project.

Type-Safety

Passing the generic to the loader function is not required however without it the properties on the resulting object will be unknown type and will require futher type narrowing.

# .env.example, committed to repo
SOMESTRING=
SOMENUMBER=
SOMEBOOL=

# .env, private
SOMESTRING=topsecret
SOMENUMBER=123
SOMEBOOL=TRUE

// index.ts
import config from "./index";

type envVars = {
    SOMESTRING: string;
    SOMENUMBER: number;
    SOMEBOOL: boolean;
};

const myEnv = config<envVars>();

console.log(myEnv);
