# env

[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/simia-tech/env?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/simia-tech/env) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/simia-tech/env.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/simia-tech/env)

Implements a simple way of handling environment values. Each environment field is simply reflected by a

variable inside the Go program. Out of the box handlers for the types `bool`, `[]byte`, `time.Duration`,

`int`, `[]int`, `string`, `[]string` and `map[string]string` are provided. Other types can be added by using

the `RegisterField` function.

## Example

```go

package main

import (

    "fmt"

    "github.com/simia-tech/env/v2"

)

var (

    name   = env.String("NAME", "joe")

    age    = env.Int("AGE", 24)

    shifts = env.StringMap("SHIFTS", map[string]string{"monday": "9am - 5pm"})

)

func main() {

    env.ParseFlags()

    fmt.Printf("%s is %d years old\nshifts are %v\n",

        name.GetOrDefault(), age.GetOrDefault(), shifts.GetOrDefault())

}

```

If the program is called with `-print-env`, all registered environment fields would be printed...

```bash

NAME="joe"

AGE="24"

SHIFTS="monday:\"9am - 5pm\""

```

By using `-print-env -print-env-format long-bash`, a description for each field is generated.

```bash

# String field. The default value is 'joe'. Defined at .../main.go:11.

NAME="joe"

# Int field. The default value is '24'. Defined at .../main.go:10.

AGE="24"

# StringMap fields. The default value is 'monday:\"9am - 5pm\"'. Defined at .../main.go:9.

SHIFTS="monday:\"9am - 5pm\""

```
