define_env

Load variables from a .env file into a dart-define string and copy it to your IDE Config or to the clipboard.

Usage

Get the latest version from pub:

$ dart pub global activate define_env

Print

$ dart pub global run define_env      # generate dart define string and print it to stdout

You can skip printing using the --no-print flag

Copy to clipboard

$ dart pub global run define_env -c      # generate dart define string and copy to clipboard 

Copy to IDE

Note

• When copying to IDE config, define_env tries to preserve existing arguments and overwrites only the dart-define statements. This is not thoroughly tested and if you face problems with additional arguments please create an issue.

VS Code launch.json

$ dart pub global run define_env -l      # generate dart define string and copy it to launch.json

By default, all configurations in launch.json are updated. If you want to update only a specific configuration, you can do the following

$ dart pub global run define_env -l -n staging     # generate dart define string and copy it to "staging" configuration in launch.json

Note

• launch.json may sometimes contain comments. These comments cannot be preserved as of now. If this is important then you should avoid this package

Android Studio

$ dart pub global run define_env -a      # generate dart define string and copy it to all run configs

By default, all configurations in .idea/workspace.xml and .run/ are updated. If you want to update only a specific configuration, you can do the following

$ dart pub global run define_env -a -n staging     # generate dart define string and copy it to "staging" configuration only

Discussion

Use the issue tracker for bug reports and feature requests.

Roadmap

• Add support for Android Studio and Intellij.
• Make Android Studio and VS Code extensions and plugins to update config automatically when .env files are updated.
• Generate Config class from .env files which extract values from environment.
• Copy config name directly from .env files. ex .env.staging is copied to staging config.
• Add validation support against .env.example to see warn if any environment variable is missing.
• Simplify command usage. ex define_env:print define_env:copy define_env:vscode etc.
