defmodule Exenv do
@moduledoc """
Loads env vars using an adapter-based approach.
Exenv dynamically assigns env vars on application start using whatever adapters
have been configured to run. By default, Exenv is setup to use the included
`Exenv.Adapters.Dotenv` adapter - loading env vars from a `.env` file in your
projects directory on startup.
## Configuration
If you need to further configure Exenv - it is typically done via application config.
config :exenv, [
adapters: [
{Exenv.Adapters.Dotenv, [file: "path/to/.env"]}
]
]
You can simply list the adapters and any options you would like to pass to it
via `{MyAdapter, opts}` - where `opts` is a keyword list of options defined by
the adapter.
Alternatively, you can also configure Exenv to be used via your own supervision
tree. In this case simply add the following to your config:
config :exenv, start_on_application: false
You can then add Exenv to your supervisor.
children = [
{Exenv, [adapters: [{Exenv.Adapters.Dotenv, [file: "path/to/.env"]}]]}
]
## Encryption
Exenv has support for encryption out of the box. This allows you to keep an
encrypted secrets file checked into your repository. Please see `Exenv.Encryption`
for more details.
