dotenv-ex

Dotenv extension. Switch settings with NODE_ENV.

Install

npm install @sk39/dotenv-ex

As early as possible in your application, require and configure dotenv.

require('@sk39/dotenv-ex').config()

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project. Add environment-specific variables on new lines in the form of NAME=VALUE. For example:

DEBUG=true
SERVER_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3000/"
NUMBER_FLAG=0
FLOAT_FLAG=0.0034

further. You can overwrite the NODE_ENV specific settings by creating a .env.{NODE_ENV} file.

process.env now has the keys and values you defined in your .env file.

const env = require("dotenv-ex").config();
console.log(process.env.SERVER_URL)
