env-cmd

A simple node program for executing commands using an environment from an env file.

Install

npm install env-cmd

Usage

Environment file ./test/.env

# This is a comment
ENV1=THANKS # Yay inline comments support
ENV2=FOR ALL
ENV3 THE FISH # This format is also accepted

Package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "env-cmd ./test/.env mocha -R spec"
  }
}

Terminal

./node_modules/.bin/env-cmd ./test/.env node index.js

Environment File Formats

These are the currently accepted environment file formats. If any other formats are desired please create an issue.

key=value
key value

Why

Because sometimes its just too cumbersome passing lots of environment variables to scripts. Its usually just easier to have a file with all the vars in them, especially for development and testing.

Do not commit sensitive environment data to a public git repo!

cross-env - Cross platform setting of environment scripts

Special Thanks

Special thanks to cross-env for inspiration (use's the same cross-spawn lib underneath too).
