envc

Loads environment variables from .env files.

Inspired by dotenv by Brandon Keepers.

Usage

// `options` are optional
var env = require('envc')(options);

Options:

• path: Path to the .env file [optional, default: cwd]
• name: Name of the .env file [optional, default: '.env']
• nodeenv: NODE_ENV [optional, default: process.env.NODE_ENV]
• booleans: enable boolean parsing, [optional, default: false]
• numbers: enable number parsing, [optional, default: false]
• readonly: load and parse .env file only (i.e. does not modify process.env), [optional, default: false]
• overwrite: allow process.env to overwrite file values [optional, default: false]

Inheritance

envc will try to load:

• {name}
• {name}.{NODE_ENV}
• {name}.local

Interpolation

URL_HOST="vesln.com"
URL_PATH="index"
URL_FULL="http://${URL_HOST}/${URL_PATH}"
DOCKER_SERVICE=$(boot2docker ip):11211 # works on node 0.12+
