### Story



**What is Dotenv?**

Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a `.env` file into `process.env`. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on [The Twelve-Factor App](http://12factor.net/config) methodology.

**Why Webenv?**

While `dotenv` provide a convenient way of loading environment variables from a `.env` file for Node.js, however managing runtime environment variables for the web doesn't seem to be any easier.

This project is aimed to fix the those on the web by providing a wrapper to `dotenv` using `fetch` to make a request for `.env` file from your publicly accessible path. It is a highly customized [`dotenv`](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) and [`dotenv-expand`](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand) built for the web.

## Install

```sh

npm install @socheatsok78/webenv --save

```

Or installing with yarn?

```sh

yarn add @socheatsok78/webenv

```

## Usage

Create a `.env` file in the public folder of your project:

```env

# Please DO NOT store your sensitive data here

# This file must be publicly accessible by anyone

API_BACKEND_ENDPOINT="https://api.example.com"

```

> NOTE: 

> 

> The `webenv` do not have access to the server environment variables. 

> You can consider that the `webenv` is only use for runtime configuration only.

As early as possible in your application, import and configure dotenv:

```js

import * as webenv from '@socheatsok78/webenv'

(async () => {

    await webenv.config({ path: '/.env' }) // make a fetch request to '/.env' and parse the string response

    console.log(window.env) // remove this after you've confirmed it working

})()

```
