envdir

This module will populate environment variable from the files in specified directory (default to .env directory). Each file name will become the variable name and the content will be the value.

For example if you have file VARIABLE1 with the content Value 1 inside .env directory, after calling envdir() you can access VARIABLE1 value with process.env.VARIABLE1.

Install

npm install --save envdir

Usage

const envdir = require('envdir')

// will read .env directory by default
envdir()

// or you can specify which directory to read
envdir('secret')

Motivation

Kubernetes secret can be mounted as volume and will become a bunch of files on a designated directory. This module will read each files and populate the environment variables with the files content.
