oorjs

oorjs is a simple library to maintain environment variables in development cycle. It is also able to differentiate between development and production environment based on presence of json profile file.

Usage

A simple use case for this library would be

require('oorjs')('.env',function(flag){
  console.log("KEY :"+process.env.key);
});

where .env file is a json file that contains profile for the environment. The second callback function has a flag set to true if production environment is in development.

Creating a profile

oorjs can use multiple separate profile that can be selected at runtime. A sample json file is

{
	"Profile 1": {
		"key": "12sdf3",
		"server": "8723"
	},
	"Profile 2": {
		"key": "123",
		"server": "8723"
	}
}

What changes to make in production environment

None whatsoever. If the environment file in this case .env file is missing, it automatically assumes running in production environment. All you are left with is to set production variables and you are done. Remember the local environment file that stores all the profiles should be added in .gitignore before pushing the codes.
