Able to to include environment/config variables

[DenisCarriere]

Ability to include custom environment variables at compile time.

Use default .env file or config/default.json

• https://github.com/node-config/node-config
• https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv

Override env/config with specific file path

npx eosio-asc contract.ts --env .env
npx eosio-asc contract.ts --config ./config/default.json

Code example

import { print, Name } from "as-chain"

const config = process.env.get("CONFIG");

@contract
class MyContract {
    constructor(
        public receiver: Name,
        public firstReceiver: Name,
        public action: Name) {
    }

    @action("sayhello")
    sayHello():  void {
        print(`hello! ${config}`);
    }
}

using process.env.get() would receive the following error when deploying contract:

I recommend using the method in the following example in order to avoid increasing code size and reducing performance.

Thanks for the suggestion, that should do the trick for configuration
