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.
With homebrew:
shell
$ brew tap brodo/json_env
$ brew install json_env
With NPM
shell
$ npm i -g @brodo/json_env
With cargo:
shell
$ cargo install json_env
Or download the binaries for your platform on the releases page and put them in your $PATH.
Just run json_env with any program as a parameter:
shell
$ json_env my_program
Additional command line arguments that are passed to json_env are forwarded to the child process:
```shell
$ json_env echo "Test"
Test ```
.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"} [...] ```
