Access Environment Variables merging dart command line over platform environment variables.

Gives access to environment variables with two static methods for EnvVariables class.

  • One method always returns a String with a default value of '' (empty string)
  • The other method return null if no value is defined in command line and the platform environment.

Read environment variables looking up in the following order:

  • in dart command line --define (or flutter --dart-define)
  • in Platform.environment
  • in the given (optional) defaultValue

Examples

final String value = EnvVariables.fromEnvironment('varName'); // Defaults to ''
final String other = EnvVariables.fromEnvironment('otherName', defaultValue: 'myValue');
final String? valueOrNull = EnvVariables.fromEnvironmentOrNull('varName'); // Defaults to null;
