Can we override variables in a .env.test file? #19

Closed shamoons closed 5 years ago

shamoons commented 5 years ago

I know anything in .env will override. But what about .env.test?

Yes, with custom loading you can specify a different path:

import {load as envkeyLoad} from 'envkey/loader'

envkeyLoad({ dotEnvFile: ".staging.env" })

Then do I need to have a .env.test file? Or will it also work from actual environment variables @danenania ?

envkey will defer to anything in the .env file (which could be .env.test or whatever path you set) or any environment variables that are already set. So either would work to override.
