@tnezdev/env

A wrapper to make dealing with environment variables less painful.

Installation

• npm: npm install @tnezdev/env
• yarn: yarn add @tnezdev/env
• pnpm: pnpm add @tnezdev/env

Usage

Require this in any file where you need to reference an environment variable. It will throw if the expected key is not defined, otherwise it will return a string.

import { getEnv } from "@tnezdev/env";
import SomeClient from "./clients/some-client";

const configureDefaultClient = () =>
  new SomeClient({
    username: getEnv("SOME_CLIENT_USERNAME"),
    password: getEnv("SOME_CLIENT_PASSWORD"),
  });

export default function (client = configureDefaultClient()) {
  // ... do something cool ...
}

You can also provide a default value to use if the key is not defined in process.env:

getEnv("BASE_URL", { default: "http://localhost:3000" });
