Environment Variables

[ZeroIntensity]

Feature description

View should supply an easy API for working with environment variables, especially through the use of the config (such as adding an env dictionary) and loading .env files. The view.util.env function does exist, but most of the utilities are undocumented as of now.

Feature example API

# view.toml
[env]
SOME_COOL_SETTING = "hello"

# .env
MY_SECRET="hello"

import view

app = new_app(some_setting=view.env("hello"))

Anything else?

Most of this issue is likely as simple as adding python-dotenv and adding an env: Dict[str, Any] to Config.
