add file priority to README

[miwialex]

Currently the README doesn't specify the priority of which the .env files get loaded. Based on how other packages set priority on the files, I assumed that .env.production had higher priority than .env.local, however after not getting the expected results and looking through the source code, I see that .env.local is the highest priority. Perhaps this should be added to the README so that people know exactly how the variables are loaded. Also, I see that the library currently doesn't support .env.development.local style files, so perhaps that might be worth looking into as well.

Hey, thank you for opening this issue! 🙂 To boost priority on this issue and support open source please tip the team at https://issuehunt.io/r/goatandsheep/react-native-dotenv/issues/170

that is a great point!

take a look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv-flow . I will add the link to the README

@goatandsheep thanks for the reply, and this is helpful. If you look here https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv-flow#variables-overwritingpriority it states that .env.local should have lower priority than .env.production. However, the way react-native-dotenv currently works is, it treats .env.local as the highest priority file.

I think you're right. This will be a breaking change but you're right. Thanks for pointing this out! I'll investigate ASAP
