@bearz/env

Overview

The env provides a uniform way to work with environment variables and the path variable across different runtimes such as bun, node, deno, cloudflare and the browser and different operating system differences.

Cloudflare and the brower uses an in memory store.

Bash and Windows style variable expansion is included. The env object provides additional methods to convert values to boolean, int, number, json, etc.

Usage

import * as  env from "@bearz/env";

// get values
console.log(env.get("USER") || env.get("USERNAME"));

// set variable
env.set("MY_VAR", "test")
console.log(env.get("MY_VAR"))

// expansion
console.log(env.expand("${MY_VAR}")); // test
console.log(env.expand("${NO_VALUE:-default}")); // default
console.log(env.get("NO_VALUE")); // undefined

env.expand("${NO_VALUE:=default}"); // default
console.log(env.get("NO_VALUE")); // default

try {
    env.expand("${REQUIRED_VAR:?Environment variable REQUIRED_VAR is missing}");
} catch(e) {
    console.log(e.message); // Environment variable REQUIRED_VAR is missing 
}

// proxy object to allow get/set/delete similar to process.env
console.log(env.proxy.MY_VAR);
env.proxy.MY_VAR = "test"
console.log(env.proxy.MY_VAR)

// undefined will remove a value
env.merge({
    "VAR2": "VALUE",
    "MY_VAR2": undefined
});

// union only sets values that are not undefined and does not already have a value
// in the example below only NEW will be set.
env.union({
    "VAR2": undefined,
    "NEW": "TEST",
    "MY_VAR": "A"
})

env.set("MY_VAR", "test")
env.remove("MY_VAR");

// append to the end of the environment path variables
env.appendPath("/opt/test/bin");

// prepends the path
env.prependPath("/opt/test2/bin");
env.hasPath("/opt/test2/bin");

// removes the path. on windows this is case insensitive.
env.removePath("/opt/test2/bin");

// replaces the path.
env.replacePath("/opt/test/bin", "/opt/test2/bin")

console.log(env.splitPath()); 
console.log(env.getPath()) // the full path string

const path = env.getPath();
// overwrites the environment's PATH variable
env.setPath(`${path}:/opt/test4/bin`)
