Doesn't seem to work with .env files

[Cmion]

The config object returned from node-config-ts is empty.

Steps To Reproduce:

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();
import {config} from 'node-config-ts';
console.log(config); // Returns {}

Expected behavior: Environment variables from files should be loaded and used in places where @@VAR was used in the JSON files

Typescript Version: 4.2.4 node-config-ts version: 9.1.1

My guess would be dotenv populates the process.env dictionary in the running node process while node-config-ts loads from the environment in the shell the node process is running in. You would need to source your .env file before it would work with the library.

@Cmion we just added support for dotenv, are you still experiencing this issue?
