# glenv

Type-safe environment variables for Gleam.

Accessing environment variables doesn't give us the type of safety guarantees we'd like in a langauge like Gleam. glenv aims to guarantee that each environment variable is of the correct type AND is present.

```sh
gleam add glenv
```
```gleam
import dot_env
import gleam/decode
import glenv

pub type MyEnv {
MyEnv(hello: String, foo: Float, count: Int, is_on: Bool)
}

pub fn main() {
// Optional: Load environment variables from a file
dot_env.load_default()

let definitions = [
#("HELLO", glenv.String),
#("FOO", glenv.Float),
#("COUNT", glenv.Int),
#("IS_ON", glenv.Bool),
]

let decoder =
decode.into({
use hello <- decode.parameter
use foo <- decode.parameter
use count <- decode.parameter
use is_on <- decode.parameter

MyEnv(hello: hello, foo: foo, count: count, is_on: is_on)
})
|> decode.field("HELLO", decode.string)
|> decode.field("FOO", decode.float)
|> decode.field("COUNT", decode.int)
|> decode.field("IS_ON", decode.bool)

let assert Ok(env) = glenv.load(decoder, definitions)

env.hello == "hello"
env.foo == 1.0
env.count == 1
env.is_on == True
}
```

## Expected values

### Bool

Any casing of `true`, `yes` or `1` will be parsed as `True`. Any other value will be parsed as `False`.

### Float

Any value that can be parsed as a float will be parsed as a float. Any other value will result in an `InvalidEnvValue` error.

### Int

Any value that can be parsed as an int will be parsed as an int. Any other value will result in an `InvalidEnvValue` error.

### String

Any value will be parsed as a string.
