An utility tool to handle .env files in Java.

## Maven

```

  com.harium

  dotenv

  1.0.7

```

## Example

Create a .env file and place it at the root folder of your project.

Get your variables using:

```java

String myValue = Env.get("MY_SECRET");

```

Alternatively, you can use a custom path using the path parameter:

```java

String myValue = Env.path("/home/user/myFolder").get("MY_SECRET");

```

## Fallback

If your variable is not declared in .env, dotenv will try to load it from the environment variables.

## How it works

Dotenv looks for a .env file and loads it's contents. When you call

`Env.get("MY_SECRET");` for the first time, dotenv will try to load all the variables and cache them.

At this repo you can find an example (.env) file: [example](https://github.com/Harium/dotenv/blob/master/.env).
