Golang handling of environment values

env

GoDoc Build Status

Implements a simple way of handling environment values. Each environment field is simply reflected by a variable inside the Go program. Out of the box handlers for the types bool, []byte, time.Duration, int, []int, string, []string and map[string]string are provided. Other types can be added by using the RegisterField function.

Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/simia-tech/env/v2"
)

var (
    name   = env.String("NAME", "joe")
    age    = env.Int("AGE", 24)
    shifts = env.StringMap("SHIFTS", map[string]string{"monday": "9am - 5pm"})
)

func main() {
    env.ParseFlags()

    fmt.Printf("%s is %d years old\nshifts are %v\n",
        name.GetOrDefault(), age.GetOrDefault(), shifts.GetOrDefault())
}

If the program is called with -print-env, all registered environment fields would be printed...

NAME="joe"
AGE="24"
SHIFTS="monday:\"9am - 5pm\""

By using -print-env -print-env-format long-bash, a description for each field is generated.

# String field. The default value is 'joe'. Defined at .../main.go:11.
NAME="joe"

# Int field. The default value is '24'. Defined at .../main.go:10.
AGE="24"

# StringMap fields. The default value is 'monday:\"9am - 5pm\"'. Defined at .../main.go:9.
SHIFTS="monday:\"9am - 5pm\""
