:sparkles: Add support for env object

Added support for a environment object

Hi.

It was like that before but then I decided to keep it as simple as possible, so if you want multiple env variables then I'd suggest to use env plugin multiple times.

Is this behavior critical for you?

[luii]

no not really

[deepsweet]

Anyway thanks for the contribution :) Every user except me counts.

What is your case? I believe that we can implement something like direnv if it plays.

I'm currently active on the NodeOS project and need a functional task runner / build system. Therefor i have to set a lot of environment variables from our toolchain which i converted from bash to a plain old js object to use it with a task runner. And also this project is lacking some of the plugins i need, so i thought lets contribute some of them to help and learn a bit about the internals of a task runner.

There are a lot of packages that need to be converted from bash to js because not everyone using NodeOS knows bash.

I also dont want to use these overly bloated task runners like gulp or grunt

Oh, I heard about NodeOS once or twice before, even twitted a link but never actually tried. Is there any roadmap document so I can see a high-level picture of what is not implemented yet?

Also, please let me know if this env plugin is blocking you in any way. I'm not against that object behavior, I've just never faced such a case in my experience (mostly because I don't have many env vars so it's fine to defined them manually).

Here you go, lately i've marked everything relevant: Roadmaps We're currently stuck at the alpha roadmap because i need to build nodegit when building nodeos and somehow the current build process (in bash) overwrites my environment variables somehow that i cant cross build it

If you want to contribute to something just pick any of these labels: bug, needs-maintainer

plugin-env@0.2.0:

💥🛠️ always work with env vars object instead of strings pair

[luii]

Nice thanks! :smile:

[deepsweet]

I realized that I actually didn't like the polymorphic behavior :) not the object itself. Now it's more flexible but at the same time still simple.

@deepsweet what does the Startfile.map property do?

[deepsweet]

That's a SourceMap object, write plugin will take care of it if there is some. It's useful for transform plugins like Babel.
