Parse and stringify the environment configuration files and format, also known as .env files and dotenv files

What are environment configuration files?

They are files use to configure environments by applications and servers that support them. Generally they look like this:

a=1
b:2
c = 3
d : 4

They are commonly also called envfiles, .env files, and dotenv files.

Usage

Complete API Documentation.

Via the Command Line

Requires a global installation of envfile: npm install -g envfile

# envfile to JSON
echo -e "a=1\nb:2" | envfile env2json > config.json

# JSON to envfile
echo '{"a":1,"b":2}' | envfile json2env > config.env

Via Node.js

// Include envfile
const { parse, stringify } = require('envfile')

// Parse an envfile string
console.log(parse('a=1\nb:2'))

// Stringify a javascript object to an envfile string
console.log(stringify({ a: 1, b: 2 }))
