Set Node local environment variables

A command line tool for Node.js to export a list of environment key value pairs to an export.sh file; which can then be used as a part of a development script to set local environment variables.

Usage

1. clone this repo git clone https://github.com/momotofu/node-env-variable-cli.git and copy set_env.sh to the same directory as your package.json file.
2. Add the list of environment variables to APIServices array in the set_env.sh file. See file comments for an example and further instructions.
3. To populate the script you'll use to set local env variables run source set_env.sh. This command will run the user through each environment variable key and prompt for the associated value. When user has entered all the required values, an exports.sh file will be generated.
4. To export local environment variables add source exports.sh to your dev script in your package.json file.
