gulp-env

gulp-env

Add env vars from a .env file to your process.env

Install

npm i --save-dev gulp-env

Usage

For now, gulp-env expects the .env file to export a javascript object, i.e.:

//.env
module.exports = {
	MONGO_URI: "mongodb://localhost:27017/testdb
}

You can add the properties of this object to your process.env via env({file: ".env}) in your gulpfile.

//gulpfile.js
gulp = require('gulp'),
  nodemon = require('nodemon'),
  env = require('gulp-env');

gulp.task('nodemon', function() {
	//nodemon server ...
});

gulp.task('set-env', function () {
	env({file: ".env"});
});

gulp.task('default', ['set-env', 'nodemon'])

TODO

For now, this plug-in is stupid simple.

Seriously, this is all of the code!

'use strict';

module.exports = function(options) {
  if (options.file) {
    var env = require("./" + options.file);

    for (var prop in env) {
      process.env[prop] = env[prop]
    }
  }
}

TODO:

• handle non-module.exports env files
• allow for simple variable setting (i.e. env({PORT: 4000}), etc.)
• test coverage
