yarn orion-env init --path=<path>
Run the following script in a project that has the package installed and you will be prompted for the variable name and value.
yarn orion-env add --path=<path>
Define the following environment variables (in the old way):
ORION_ENV_FILE_PATH=<path>
The path to the env file.ORION_ENV_SECRET_KEY=<password>
The password to decrypt the keys.Then you can access the variables by importing the package and all the env variables defined will be the env object.
import {env} from '@orion-js/env'
env.XX
To add backwards compatibility you can also use this libary to set the environment variables.
import {loadEnv} from '@orion-js/env'
loadEnv(options)

Set to true to set the environment variables even if the variable was already set. Default: process.env.ORION_ENV_OVERRIDEFAQs
