# 🕶 from-env 🕶

from-env is helper script that makes environment variables from a local ``.env``-file inside command line statements available.

## installation

```bash

npm install --save-dev from-env

```

## usage

``.env``

```.env

VARIABLE1=needs

VARIABLE2=have

VARIABLE3=variables

```

```package.json``` (before)

```json

{

    "scripts": {

        "yo": "your-command --that needs --to have --some variables"

    }

}

```

```package.json``` (after)

```json

{

    "scripts": {

        "yo": "from-env your-command --that %VARIABLE1 --to %VARIABLE2 --some %VARIABLE3"

    }

}

```

### embedded variables replacement

To enable replacing variables that are not standlone:

`from-env --embedded-vars your-command --things thing1=%VARIABLE1 thing2=%VARIABLE2 --other $VARIABLE3`

or

`from-env your-command --things thing1=%VARIABLE1 thing2=%VARIABLE2 --other $VARIABLE3`

with

``.env``

```.env

FROM_ENV_EMBEDDED=true

```

## alternative

this also works without any package (also on windows with wsl):

```package.json```

```json

{

    "scripts": {

        "yo": "from-env your-command --that $(grep VARIABLE1 .env | cut -d '=' -f2) --to $(grep VARIABLE2 .env | cut -d '=' -f2) --some $(grep VARIABLE3 .env | cut -d '=' -f2)"

    }

}

```
