# Middy Env

Environment variable middleware for the [middy](https://github.com/middyjs/middy) framework

[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/middy-env.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/middy-env)

## Install

```bash
npm install middy-env
```

The specified environment variables will be parsed and passed into the handler.

## Options

- `cache` (boolean) (optional): Set it to `true` to skip further lookups of environment variables. Defaults to `false`.
- `cacheExpiryInMillis` (int) (optional): Time in milliseconds for values to remain cached. Defaults to `undefined`.
- `setToContext` (boolean) (optional): This will assign the parsed values to the `context` object
of the function handler rather than to `process.env`. Defaults to `true`.
- `names` (object) (required): Map of environment variables to parse, where the key is the destination.
Either provide just the environment variable key. Or provide the key, type and fallback value e.g. `['KEY', 'string', 'fallbackValue']`.

By default parameters are assigned to the function handler's `context` object. They can instead be assigned to the Node.js `process.env` object by setting the `setToContext` flag to `false`.
If no fallback value is provided a [ReferenceError](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ReferenceError) will be thrown if an environment variable is undefined.

## Supported Types
- `string`
- `int`
- `float`
- `bool`

## Usage

```js
const middy = require('middy');
const env = require('middy-env');

const handler = (event, context, callback) => {
callback(null, `Hello ${context.firstName} ${context.lastName}`);
};

module.exports = middy(handler)
.use(env({
names: {
firstName: ['FIRST_NAME', 'string', 'World'],
lastName: 'LAST_NAME'
},
cache: true,
cacheExpiryInMillis: 3600000
}));
```
