jsonprocenv

Sets your JSON env file to the process environment automatically.

The package flattens the JSON objects and provide easy and cleaner way to define your own process env variables, without the long and complex traditional .env file.

Simple usage

require("jsonprocenv")();  // Default ENV file path equals to "./.env".

Installation

npm install jsonprocenv --save

Usage examples

Whereas "myenvfile.json" contains the following JSON:

{
    "db": {
        "host": "mongodb://mymongoserver.example.com:27017",
        "collections": {
          "users": "usersCollection"
        }
    },
    "apiKeys": {
        "api1": "1as23f4sdf96sd4f32d14f7g8dfd45dfg3df4f",
        "api2": "798wer7t89e9g7df564dfg2df1g6dfg7df65g6"
    }
}

Setting the data to process.env:

require("jsonprocenv")("./myenvfile.json");

console.log(process.env.DB_HOST) // Will print out: "mongodb://mymongoserver.example.com:27017"
console.log(process.env.DB_COLLECTIONS_USERS) // Will print out: "usersCollection"
console.log(process.env.APIKEYS_API1) // Will print out: "1as23f4sdf96sd4f32d14f7g8dfd45dfg3df4f"
