@acryps/environment

acryps environment

Environment variable manager for local development

Currently only supports systems that have the unix 'which' command.

Getting Started

npm install @acryps/environment --save-dev

Active environment by adding environment before launching your application in your scripts

tsc && node index.js → tsc && environment node index.js

Define environment variables in your package.json

{
	"name": "my-application",
	"environment": {
		"host": "Application Host",
		"database": {
			"host": "Database Host",
			"+port?5432": "Database Port"
		}
	}
}

You'll automatically be prompted to enter the values required for your project. The following environment variables will automatically be passed as environment variables to the application launched by environment:

• HOST
• DATABASE_HOST
• DATABASE_PORT

Access them as usual with process.env.HOST - no changes to the code required.

Modifiers

Modifiers may be added to the names in the package configuration

• …?default: Set a default value which will be accepted when the user does not provide a value
• +…: Require a numeric value
