Hydrate-dotenvs

Overview

Hydrate-dotenvs is a script designed to streamline the process of populating .env files within a monorepo setup. It searches for .env.dist files across the project structure and automatically creates corresponding .env files with predefined values. This tool is useful for setting up environment configurations consistently across multiple packages or services.

Features

• Automatically creates .env files from .env.dist templates.
• Populates .env files with predefined values for environment variables.
• Works recursively across directories to ensure all relevant .env.dist files are processed.
• Simplifies setup and configuration management in a monorepo environment.

Example

Assume you have a monorepo with various services, each containing .env.dist files:

/project-root
│
├── service1
│   ├── .env.dist
│   └── ...
│
├── service2
│   ├── .env.dist
│   └── ...
│
└── shared
    ├── .env.dist
    └── ...

Running hydrate-dotenvs will create .env files:

/project-root
│
├── service1
│   ├── .env.dist
│   ├── .env
│   └── ...
│
├── service2
│   ├── .env.dist
│   ├── .env
│   └── ...
│
└── shared
    ├── .env.dist
    ├── .env
    └── ...
