Why npx? #12

Writing a library for PHP but requiring Node.Js (The NPX)? Why not using PHP's in built system?

motdotla commented 7 months ago

because the cli library is different than the PHP lib. The PHP lib does decryption and injection of .env.vault only. the cli library - which is built with node and distributed via npx - contains all the api coordination with vault.dotenv.org.

that said, if using PHP you might also prefer dotenvx
