UniversalInit Environment Package

A Python package for mapping environment variables between different frameworks and a common format.

Features

• Map environment variables from framework-specific formats to a common format
• Map environment variables from common format to framework-specific formats
• Support for multiple frameworks through YAML template files
• Easy extensibility for new frameworks
• Optional prefix support for bulk environment variable transformation

Installation

pip install universalinit-env

Usage

Basic Usage

from universalinit_env import map_framework_to_common, map_common_to_framework

# Map React-specific env vars to common format
react_env = {
    "REACT_APP_SUPABASE_URL": "https://example.supabase.co",
    "REACT_APP_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
    "REACT_APP_DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://..."
}

common_env = map_framework_to_common("react", react_env)
# Result: {"SUPABASE_URL": "https://example.supabase.co", ...}

# Map common env vars to React format
framework_env = map_common_to_framework("react", common_env)
# Result: {"REACT_APP_SUPABASE_URL": "https://example.supabase.co", ...}

Available Functions

• get_template_path(framework): Get the path to the environment template file for a given framework
• parse_template_file(template_path): Parse a YAML template file and extract the prefix and mapping
• map_common_to_framework(framework, common_env): Map common environment variables to framework-specific ones
• map_framework_to_common(framework, framework_env): Map framework-specific environment variables to common ones
• get_supported_frameworks(): Get a list of supported frameworks

Supported Frameworks

Currently supports:

• React (via react/env.template)

Template File Format

Environment template files use YAML syntax with the following structure:

# Optional prefix that will be added to all environment variables
# prefix: REACT_APP_

# Direct mapping of environment variables
mapping:
  # Example: maps FOO environment variable to REACT_FOO in the React app
  REACT_FOO: FOO
  
  # Example: maps API_URL environment variable to REACT_API_URL in the React app
  REACT_API_URL: API_URL
  
  # Example: maps DATABASE_URL environment variable to REACT_DB_URL in the React app
  REACT_DB_URL: DATABASE_URL

Template Rules:

• Prefix (Optional): If specified, all unmapped environment variables will have this prefix added
• Direct Mapping: Specific environment variable name transformations
• Fallback: Any environment variable not matched by mapping rules preserves its original name

Mapping Priority:

• Direct mappings in the mapping section are applied first
• If a prefix is specified, it's applied to remaining unmapped variables
• Any variables still unmapped are preserved as-is

Adding New Frameworks

To add support for a new framework:

• Create a new directory under src/universalinit_env/ with your framework name
• Add an env.template file with YAML mappings:

  # Optional prefix
  prefix: FRAMEWORK_PREFIX_
  
  # Direct mappings
  mapping:
    FRAMEWORK_VAR: COMMON_VAR
  

• The framework will automatically be detected and available

Development

# Install dependencies
poetry install

# Run tests
pytest
