DotEnv Variable Loader plugin for UTCP
npm install @utcp/dotenv-loaderDotEnv Variable Loader plugin for the Universal Tool Calling Protocol (UTCP).
This plugin provides support for loading environment variables from .env files in UTCP applications. It's useful for Node.js environments where you want to manage configuration through environment files.
``bash`
npm install @utcp/dotenv-loader
The plugin automatically registers itself when imported:
`typescript
import '@utcp/dotenv-loader';
import { UtcpClient } from '@utcp/sdk';
// Now you can use dotenv variable loaders in your UTCP configuration
const config = {
load_variables_from: [
{
variable_loader_type: 'dotenv',
env_file_path: '.env'
}
]
};
const client = await UtcpClient.create(process.cwd(), config);
`
The DotEnv Variable Loader accepts the following configuration:
- variable_loader_type: Must be set to 'dotenv'
- : Path to the .env file (relative to the root directory)
- Automatic Registration: Plugin registers itself on import
- Dynamic Loading: Reads .env file on every variable access
- Silent Failure: Returns null if file doesn't exist or can't be read
- Standard .env Format: Supports standard dotenv file format

This plugin requires Node.js as it uses the fs` module. It's not suitable for browser environments. For browser applications, use inline variable configuration instead.
