# GoDotEnv [](https://app.wercker.com/project/bykey/507594c2ec7e60f19403a568dfea0f78)
|
||
|
||
A Go (golang) port of the Ruby dotenv project (which loads env vars from a .env file)
|
||
|
||
From the original Library:
|
||
|
||
> Storing configuration in the environment is one of the tenets of a twelve-factor app. Anything that is likely to change between deployment environments–such as resource handles for databases or credentials for external services–should be extracted from the code into environment variables.
|
||
>
|
||
> But it is not always practical to set environment variables on development machines or continuous integration servers where multiple projects are run. Dotenv load variables from a .env file into ENV when the environment is bootstrapped.
|
||
|
||
It can be used as a library (for loading in env for your own daemons etc) or as a bin command.
|
||
|
||
There is test coverage and CI for both linuxish and windows environments, but I make no guarantees about the bin version working on windows.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
As a library
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
go get github.com/joho/godotenv
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or if you want to use it as a bin command
|
||
```shell
|
||
go get github.com/joho/godotenv/cmd/godotenv
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
Add your application configuration to your `.env` file in the root of your project:
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
S3_BUCKET=YOURS3BUCKET
|
||
SECRET_KEY=YOURSECRETKEYGOESHERE
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then in your Go app you can do something like
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
package main
|
||
|
||
import (
|
||
"github.com/joho/godotenv"
|
||
"log"
|
||
"os"
|
||
)
|
||
|
||
func main() {
|
||
err := godotenv.Load()
|
||
if err != nil {
|
||
log.Fatal("Error loading .env file")
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
s3Bucket := os.Getenv("S3_BUCKET")
|
||
secretKey := os.Getenv("SECRET_KEY")
|
||
|
||
// now do something with s3 or whatever
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you're even lazier than that, you can just take advantage of the autoload package which will read in `.env` on import
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
import _ "github.com/joho/godotenv/autoload"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
While `.env` in the project root is the default, you don't have to be constrained, both examples below are 100% legit
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
_ = godotenv.Load("somerandomfile")
|
||
_ = godotenv.Load("filenumberone.env", "filenumbertwo.env")
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you want to be really fancy with your env file you can do comments and exports (below is a valid env file)
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
# I am a comment and that is OK
|
||
SOME_VAR=someval
|
||
FOO=BAR # comments at line end are OK too
|
||
export BAR=BAZ
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Or finally you can do YAML(ish) style
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
FOO: bar
|
||
BAR: baz
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
as a final aside, if you don't want godotenv munging your env you can just get a map back instead
|
||
|
||
```go
|
||
var myEnv map[string]string
|
||
myEnv, err := godotenv.Read()
|
||
|
||
s3Bucket := myEnv["S3_BUCKET"]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Command Mode
|
||
|
||
Assuming you've installed the command as above and you've got `$GOPATH/bin` in your `$PATH`
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
godotenv -f /some/path/to/.env some_command with some args
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you don't specify `-f` it will fall back on the default of loading `.env` in `PWD`
|
||

||
## Contributing
|
||
|
||
Contributions are most welcome! The parser itself is pretty stupidly naive and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks with edge cases.
|
||
|
||
*code changes without tests will not be accepted*
|
||
|
||
1. Fork it
|
||
2. Create your feature branch (`git checkout -b my-new-feature`)
|
||
3. Commit your changes (`git commit -am 'Added some feature'`)
|
||
4. Push to the branch (`git push origin my-new-feature`)
|
||
5. Create new Pull Request
|
||
|
||
## CI

## Who?
|
||
|
||
The original library [dotenv](https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv) was written by [Brandon Keepers](http://opensoul.org/), and this port was done by [John Barton](http://whoisjohnbarton.com) based off the tests/fixtures in the original library.
