Dotenv for C++

This library support to load environment variables from a .env file and read them like what .json does but more simple!

📝 About this repository

• This project is owned by @harshfeudal. You can join my Discord server here!
• This library can be used for many different projects, currently, this library is enough to make a C++ Discord bot using D++ for safety token reader (you can use .gitignore to ignore .env file).

🚨 Usage

1. Download ONLY dotenv folder (make sure that it contains dotenv.h inside). Simple right?
2. Include it in your project like this:

main.cpp

#include <dotenv/dotenv.h>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    // Load your .env file
	dotenv::load(".env");

    // Read your .env variable
    const char* my_var = std::getenv("MY_VAR");

    // Read it!
    std::cout << "The variable is: " << my_var << std::endl;
}

Compare it to your .env file:

MY_VAR="Hello World!"

Done! Simple right?

✨ Library features

1. Somehow you really want to skip line (or do whatever you want) like this:

The sentence is:
"Hello World"
    - Hello 2023 -

... so, with this library feature, to do this, you can just do like this in your .env file:

SENTENCE="\n\"Hello World\"\n\t- Hello 2023 -"

and it will work as expected!

2. Or, you really want to make a comment like this:

TOKEN="WW91ckRpc2NvcmRCb3RUb2tlbg=="    # Your Discord bot token

With this library features, your comment will be ignored after the # mark! Comments begin where a # exists, so if your value contains a # please wrap it in quotes.

3. This library just include only a header file (dotenv.h)!
