dotenv

A Clojure library designed to impliment the functionality of the dotenv RubyGem on the JVM.

Read a file of environment key=value pairs and load them into the JVM's System Properties.

Usage

In project.clj :dependencies

[org.clojars.jackmorrill/dotenv "0.1.0"]

In your application ns macro

(:require [dotenv.core :as dotenv])

In your application program (the environment variable file name defaults to ".env").

(dotenv/load-env)

or specify a filename

(dotenv/load-env ".env.test")

Add your application configuration to your .env file in the root of your project.

S3_BUCKET=YOURS3BUCKET
SECRET_KEY = "YOURSECRETKEYGOESHERE"

You can also create files per environment, such as .env.test.

S3_BUCKET=tests3bucket
SECRET_KEY = "testsecretkey"

An alternate yaml-like syntax is supported:

S3_BUCKET: yamlstyleforyours3bucket
SECRET_KEY: thisisalsoanokaysecret

Your application only needs to call dotenv.core/load-env once

Whenever your application loads, these variables will be available in the JVM System Properties.

(System/getProperty "S3_BUCKET")

The dotenv library is intended to be used with the [org.clojars.jackmorrill/environs "0.1.0"] library.

(:require [environs.core :as environs])

(environs/get-env "S3_BUCKET")
