jpfuentes2 / go-env

Load environment variables automatically from `.env`

Loads environment variables from .env into ENV, automagically.

Installation

go get github.com/jpfuentes2/go-env

Usage

Autoload

Autoloading your $PWD/.env is as simple as importing the go-env/autoload package:

import _ "github.com/jpfuentes2/go-env/autoload"

I want it my way

That's fine. Chillllll, Winston:

package main

import "github.com/jpfuentes2/go-env"

func main() {
  env.ReadEnv("/path/to/my/file")
}

See the examples folder.

Multiple Application Environments

Export GOENV from your shell to specify a different env file to be loaded.

For example:

export GOENV=test

Would result in .env.test being loaded instead of .env.

Please note that development is considered to map to .env. So exporting GOENV=development will mean that .env is loaded.

Local files

Whenever .env is autoloaded, go-env will also try to load .env.local for local overrides.

Credit

I've been sourcing .env files for quite some time in Ruby projects, but I did copy some of the vebiage/style from dotenv.

Also, I used copied some code from goreman.

Thanks to Yasuhiro Matsumoto and Brandon Keepers.
