@wmartzh/ts-env

ts-env

A typescript enviroment file management tool

Motivation

The availability of node can run on different enviroments allow us to use the same codebase for different platforms. However, the different enviroments may have different config files formats. There are some tools like dotenv, dotenv-yaml, to help us load the config files. However, they are not flexible enough to support different config files formats.

Installation

#NPM
npm install @wmartzh/ts-env

#Yarn
yarn add @wmartzh/ts-env

Usage

You can use ts-env as a module to load the config files. The config files will be loaded when you import the module.

import { tsEnv } from '@wmartzh/ts-env';

tsEnv({}) // load the config files

Config Interface

The Config interface defines the structure for configuration options used in our application. Below are the details of each property within this interface.

Properties

path (optional)

• Type: string
• Description: Specifies the file path for the configuration. If not provided, the default path will be used.

encoding (optional)

• Type: BufferEncoding
• Description: Defines the character encoding to be used. This must be a valid BufferEncoding type (e.g., 'utf8', 'ascii', 'base64', etc.). If not specified, the default encoding is 'utf8'.

type (optional)

• Type: ConfigType
• Description: Specifies the type of configuration. This is an enumerated value (ConfigType) that should be defined elsewhere in the codebase. It indicates the specific configuration format or category being used.

writeTypes (optional)

• Type: boolean
• Description: A flag indicating whether to write type definitions. If set to true, type definitions will be included in the output. The default value is false.
• Default: YAML valid values are JSON, YAML, ENV

Example

Here is an example of how the Config interface can be used:

const config: Config = {
  path: './config.json',
  encoding: 'utf8',
  type: ConfigType.JSON,
  writeTypes: true
};

Roadmap
