## 🙌 Good to Know

### Basic

```bash
PORT=5000
NODE_ENV=production

# Single and double quotes are also supported
S_QUOTE='single_quoted'
D_QUOTE="double_quoted"
```

### Comments

Comments can be added by using `#` character.

```bash
# COMMENTED=commented
AT_THE_END=comment_at_the_end # I am here

# If you want # in you value then wrap the value in single or double quotes
QUOTED="quote_#_quoted" # I'll be removed
```

### New Line and Escaping

New lines can added by new line (`\n`) character and this only works if the values is surrounded by double quotes.

```bash
PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----\nadflhsdlfsjkldfjklsdjf\n-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"

# or like this
PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
adflhsdlfsjkldfjklsdjf
asdffwejdjf983283lk
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----"
```

If you want to escape the new line character you can use the escape (`\`)

```bash
ESCAPED="escaped\\nnew\\nline"
```

### Export and sourcing

You may also add export in front of each line so you can source the file in bash:

```bash
export BASIC=BASIC
```

### Substitution

`Zenv` also supports variable substitution (off by default) from the current file or from the operating system. Substitution only works if the values is double quoted ie.e `"` and can be achieved by the following:

- Using `${VAR}` pattern (recommended)
- Starting the variable name by `$` character, which terminates after reaching a character which is not `_` or alphanumeric.

```bash
BASIC=basic
EXPANDED='${BASIC}_expanded' # expands to 'basic_expanded'

# System variables (assuming `PATH` is available)
SYSTEM_VARIABLE="${PATH},/this/is/new/path"
```
