Env Reader

Read, encrypt, or generate environment variables from .env file into an obfuscated Dart model.

Features 🚀

  • Automated Generation: Transform your .env files into dynamic Dart models directly. No need to add annotation. âœĻ
  • Seamless Integration: Directly update your pubspec.yaml and .gitignore on command. No need manual labor. 🛠ïļ
  • Fortified Encryption: Shield your precious .env configurations with an encryption. Say no to prying eyes.🔒
  • Data Diversity Unleashed: Whether they're integers, decimals, booleans, or strings. Automatic interpretation is at your service. ðŸŽŪ
  • Versatile Sourcing: Load your .env from various sources: assets, files, memory, network, and strings. The choice is yours. 🔄

Install 🚀

Get started with these quick commands:

ðŸ”Ĩ Add env_reader to your pubspec.yaml with a single line:

dart pub add env_reader

âœĻ Unlock the magic by activating the env_reader CLI:

dart pub global activate env_reader

Usage 🚀

Now elevate your development experience with these straightforward steps:

1. Set up your configuration

Start by crafting your .env file in the root directory of your project, right alongside your trusty pubspec.yaml.

API_KEY=VYIUJ7tLdJFqrBesnOJEpkbceBB5GNz0t1aYgHxK3BMxbJOc/g==
DEBUG=true
PORT=8080
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/mydb

2. Run the command (Optional)

Now, if you want to generate encrypted env file, run this command in your terminal:

env_reader --input=".env" --output="assets/env/" --key="MyOptionalSecretKey"

Note

output: .env successfully encrypted into assets/env/.env 🚀

also if you want to generate dart model from this env file, use tihs:

env_reader --input-".env" --model="lib/src/env_model.dart" --null-safety

Note

output: .env successfully generated into lib/src/env_model.dart 🎉

3. Loading your .env

Load the env_reader instance:

import 'package:env_reader/env_reader.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';

await Env.load(
  EnvStringLoader(await rootBundle.loadString('assets/env/.env')),
  "MyOptionalSecretKey");

// Or you can load by creating your own `EnvReader` instance.

EnvReader production = EnvReader();
await production.load(
  EnvStringLoader(await rootBundle.loadString('assets/env/.env')),
  "MyOptionalSecretKey");

4. Access your configuration

To get and read the value of your env:

import 'package:env_reader/env_reader.dart';
import 'package:my_package/src/env_model.dart';

String api = Env.read("API_KEY") ?? "Got'cha 😎";
bool debug = Env.read<bool>("DEBUG") ?? false;

// If you make your own instance, call it like this

String api = production.read("API_KEY") ?? "Got'cha 😎";
bool debug = production.read<bool>("DEBUG") ?? false;

Text(
  text:
    debug ? "ðŸĪŦ pssst, this is my api key y'all \n\n $api" : "Nothing to see here ðŸĪŠ",
);

// Or you can access the value directly from env generated model earlier

Text(
  text:
    EnvModel.debug ? "ðŸĪŦ pssst, this is my api key y'all \n\n ${EnvModel.apiKey}" : "Nothing to see here ðŸĪŠ",
);
