Support for other types like integer #15

Why this feature is required (specific use-cases will be appreciated)?

It would be nice to have simple way of parsing integer from env. For example having env variable COUNT=10 will give you string. Currently this is a bit too much work to parse to int because of need to handle undefined and boolean values to satisfy typescript

Have you tried any other work arounds?

parseInt(Env.get('COUNT', 60) as string) but it is just ignoring undefined which is destroying purpose of typescript

I agree, this can be improved. Infact, we have plans to allow you to define validations for environment variables and then have more accurate types vs type casting manually as string.

I will do an RFC on it in the coming week and will share the link here.
