json_env

json_env is dotenv, but with JSON. json_env loads an environment variables from a file called .env.json in the current directory and starts a subprocess with them. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.

.env.json: json { "NODE_ENV": "DEV", "MY_USER": "Carl", "NUM_USERS": 10, "nested": { "hello": "world", "boo": "far" } }

Shell: ```shell $ json_env env

MYUSER=Carl NODEENV=DEV NUM_USERS=10 nested={"boo":"far","hello":"world"} [...] ```

Additional command line arguments that are passed to json_env are forwarded to the child process:

Shell: ```shell

$ json_env echo "Test"

Test ```
