dotenv-expand

Dotenv-expand adds variable expansion on top of
dotenv. If you find yourself needing to
expand environment variables already existing on your machine, then
dotenv-expand is your tool.


Install

``bash
npm install @chatopera/dotenv --save
`

Usage

Define vars in .env

`
OTHER_ENV=foo
YOUR_ENV_VAR=$OTHER_ENV/bar
`

As early as possible in your application, require dotenv and dotenv-expand, and
wrap dotenv expand around dotenv.

`js
require('@chatopera/dotenv').config(process.cwd() + '/.env')
process.env["YOUR_ENV_VAR"]
`

See test/.env for examples of variable expansion in your .env`
file.
