Question: Loading connection information from .ENV instead of ormconfig #199

Open RobertCharron opened 2 years ago

RobertCharron commented 2 years ago

I am wondering if it is possible to run a command that loads the configuration for the connection from a .env file instead of from the ormconfig. This way I can keep it consistent with my NestJS project.

Thanks

Hi! If i'm not wrong, typeorm is able to read all info from environment variables, so if this library cannot, is a problem.

I'm going to release a new version soon and that part is already changed, so please stay tuned.

Any news on this?

@exipnus I think there are already environment variables set up. However it doesn't seem well documented.

See this code
