Multiline variables support #127

Closed ledoyen closed 1 year ago

ledoyen commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I have the need explained in #104.

So here is a proposition to get it work:

Support multi-line variables on single-line with double quote strings and the \n character for newlines
Support multi-line variables with line breaks using double quotes as delimiter

This addition follow the behavior described in the dotenv ruby tool: https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv#multi-line-values

Hoping this is satisfying for you and @vladAnk

@ashald was wondering if you'd be able to merge this PR as I ran into this problem and can't really find a reasonable way around multiline env variables.

Hi! Thanks a lot for your contribution! I'll try to look into your PR as soon as I can. Recently I don't have much time for OSS activity, unfortunately. That being said, I don't want to abandon this plugin either. I hope to find some time review recent contributions in the next few months, and will be sure to check your work. Please keep your branch in place so that I can learn from your findings!

P.S.: Hope you can use yaml multi-line string smeanwhile

Any news on this PR?

ashald commented 3 years ago

Not yet - I don't have time for OSS activity right now. Will review outstanding PRs and cut a new release whenever I get a chance though. Appreciate your contribution! In the meantime, you should be able to get your own build and install plugin from file to get this working.
