# dotenv-expand

<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand/master/dotenv-expand.png" alt="dotenv-expand" align="right" />

Dotenv-expand adds variable expansion on top of 
[dotenv](http://github.com/motdotla/dotenv). If you find yourself needing to
expand environment variables already existing on your machine, then
dotenv-expand is your tool.

## Install

```bash
# Install locally (recommended)
npm install dotenv-expand --save
```

Or installing with yarn? `yarn add dotenv-expand`

## Usage

Create a `.env` file in the root of your project:

```dosini
PASSWORD="s1mpl3"
DB_PASS=$PASSWORD

```

As early as possible in your application, import and configure dotenv and then expand dotenv:

```javascript
var dotenv = require('dotenv')
var dotenvExpand = require('dotenv-expand')

var myEnv = dotenv.config()
dotenvExpand.expand(myEnv)

console.log(process.env)
```

That's it. `process.env` now has the expanded keys and values you defined in your `.env` file.

### Preload

You can use the `--require` (`-r`) [command line option](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_r_require_module) to preload dotenv & dotenv-expand. By doing this, you do not need to require and load dotenv or dotenv-expand in your application code. This is the preferred approach when using `import` instead of `require`.

```bash
$ node -r dotenv-expand/config your_script.js
```

The configuration options below are supported as command line arguments in the format `dotenv_config_<option>=value`

```bash
$ node -r dotenv-expand/config your_script.js dotenv_config_path=/custom/path/to/your/env/vars
```

Additionally, you can use environment variables to set configuration options. Command line arguments will precede these.

```bash
$ DOTENV_CONFIG_<OPTION>=value node -r dotenv-expand/config your_script.js
```

```bash
$ DOTENV_CONFIG_ENCODING=latin1 node -r dotenv-expand/config your_script.js dotenv_config_path=/custom/path/to/.env
```

## Examples

See [tests/.env](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand/blob/master/tests/.env) for simple and complex examples of variable expansion in your `.env`
file.

## Documentation

DotenvExpand exposes one function:

* expand

### Expand

`expand` will expand your environment variables.

```js
const dotenv = {
  parsed: {
    BASIC: 'basic',
    BASIC_EXPAND: '${BASIC}',
    BASIC_EXPAND_SIMPLE: '$BASIC'
  }
}

const obj = dotenvExpand.expand(dotenv)

console.log(obj)
```

#### Options

##### ignoreProcessEnv

Default: `false`

Turn off writing to `process.env`.

```js
const dotenv = {
  ignoreProcessEnv: true,
  parsed: {
    SHOULD_NOT_EXIST: 'testing'
  }
}
const obj = dotenvExpand.expand(dotenv).parsed

console.log(obj.SHOULD_NOT_EXIST) // testing
console.log(process.env.SHOULD_NOT_EXIST) // undefined
```

## FAQ

### What rules does the expansion engine follow?

The expansion engine roughly has the following rules:

* `$KEY` will expand any env with the name `KEY`
* `${KEY}` will expand any env with the name `KEY` 
* `\$KEY` will escape the `$KEY` rather than expand
* `${KEY:-default}` will first attempt to expand any env with the name `KEY`. If not one, then it will return `default`

You can see a full list of examples [here](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand/blob/master/tests/.env).
