sails-js-hook-dotenv

Sails JS hook to load environment variables from a .env file using dotenv

Installation

npm install sails-hook-dotenv

Usage

Start sails as you normally do (sails lift) and you will be able to access your environment variables using process.env.your-variable-name

Configuration

You can add configuration options for this hook in config/dotenv.js by default. Currently, the only option is a boolean: active. Setting this to false will disable this hook.

module.exports.dotenv = {
  
  default: {
    
    /**
     * Setting this to false will disable this hook
     */
    active: true,

    /**
     * Setting this to false will cause the application 
     * NOT to throw an error if the config fails to load
     */
    throwOnFailure: true,
    
  }
  
}

Testing

Copy the .env.example file to create a new .env file.

Then run npm run test in your terminal.
