|
|
A simple and zero-dependencies library to parse environment variables into structs.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
Get the module with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go get github.com/caarlos0/env/v6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The usage looks like this:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"time"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type config struct {
|
|
Home string `env:"HOME"`
|
|
Port int `env:"PORT" envDefault:"3000"`
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD,unset"`
|
|
IsProduction bool `env:"PRODUCTION"`
|
|
Hosts []string `env:"HOSTS" envSeparator:":"`
|
|
Duration time.Duration `env:"DURATION"`
|
|
TempFolder string `env:"TEMP_FOLDER" envDefault:"${HOME}/tmp" envExpand:"true"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := config{}
|
|
if err := env.Parse(&cfg); err != nil {
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can run it like this:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ PRODUCTION=true HOSTS="host1:host2:host3" DURATION=1s go run main.go
|
|
{Home:/your/home Port:3000 IsProduction:true Hosts:[host1 host2 host3] Duration:1s}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
⚠️⚠️⚠️ **Attention:** _unexported fields_ will be **ignored**.
|
|
|
|
## Supported types and defaults
|
|
|
|
Out of the box all built-in types are supported, plus a few others that
|
|
are commonly used.
|
|
|
|
Complete list:
|
|
|
|
- `string`
|
|
- `bool`
|
|
- `int`
|
|
- `int8`
|
|
- `int16`
|
|
- `int32`
|
|
- `int64`
|
|
- `uint`
|
|
- `uint8`
|
|
- `uint16`
|
|
- `uint32`
|
|
- `uint64`
|
|
- `float32`
|
|
- `float64`
|
|
- `time.Duration`
|
|
- `encoding.TextUnmarshaler`
|
|
- `url.URL`
|
|
|
|
Pointers, slices and slices of pointers of those types are also supported.
|
|
|
|
You can also use/define a [custom parser func](#custom-parser-funcs) for any
|
|
other type you want.
|
|
|
|
If you set the `envDefault` tag for something, this value will be used in the
|
|
case of absence of it in the environment.
|
|
|
|
By default, slice types will split the environment value on `,`; you can change
|
|
this behavior by setting the `envSeparator` tag.
|
|
|
|
If you set the `envExpand` tag, environment variables (either in `${var}` or
|
|
`$var` format) in the string will be replaced according with the actual value
|
|
of the variable.
|
|
|
|
## Custom Parser Funcs
|
|
|
|
If you have a type that is not supported out of the box by the lib, you are able
|
|
to use (or define) and pass custom parsers (and their associated `reflect.Type`)
|
|
to the `env.ParseWithFuncs()` function.
|
|
|
|
In addition to accepting a struct pointer (same as `Parse()`), this function
|
|
also accepts a `map[reflect.Type]env.ParserFunc`.
|
|
|
|
If you add a custom parser for, say `Foo`, it will also be used to parse
|
|
`*Foo` and `[]Foo` types.
|
|
|
|
Check the examples in the [go doc](http://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caarlos0/env/v6)
|
|
for more info.
|
|
|
|
### A note about `TextUnmarshaler` and `time.Time`
|
|
|
|
Env supports by default anything that implements the `TextUnmarshaler` interface.
|
|
That includes things like `time.Time` for example.
|
|
The upside is that depending on the format you need, you don't need to change anything.
|
|
The downside is that if you do need time in another format, you'll need to create your own type.
|
|
|
|
Its fairly straightforward:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type MyTime time.Time
|
|
|
|
func (t *MyTime) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error {
|
|
tt, err := time.Parse("2006-01-02", string(text))
|
|
*t = MyTime(tt)
|
|
return err
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
SomeTime MyTime `env:"SOME_TIME"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then you can parse `Config` with `env.Parse`.
|
|
|
|
## Required fields
|
|
|
|
The `env` tag option `required` (e.g., `env:"tagKey,required"`) can be added to ensure that some environment variable is set.
|
|
In the example above, an error is returned if the `config` struct is changed to:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type config struct {
|
|
SecretKey string `env:"SECRET_KEY,required"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Not Empty fields
|
|
|
|
While `required` demands the environment variable to be check, it doesn't check its value.
|
|
If you want to make sure the environment is set and not empty, you need to use the `notEmpty` tag option instead (`env:"SOME_ENV,notEmpty"`).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type config struct {
|
|
SecretKey string `env:"SECRET_KEY,notEmpty"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Unset environment variable after reading it
|
|
|
|
The `env` tag option `unset` (e.g., `env:"tagKey,unset"`) can be added
|
|
to ensure that some environment variable is unset after reading it.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type config struct {
|
|
SecretKey string `env:"SECRET_KEY,unset"`
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## From file
|
|
|
|
The `env` tag option `file` (e.g., `env:"tagKey,file"`) can be added
|
|
to in order to indicate that the value of the variable shall be loaded from a file. The path of that file is given
|
|
by the environment variable associated with it
|
|
Example below
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"time"
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type config struct {
|
|
Secret string `env:"SECRET,file"`
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD,file" envDefault:"/tmp/password"`
|
|
Certificate string `env:"CERTIFICATE,file" envDefault:"${CERTIFICATE_FILE}" envExpand:"true"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := config{}
|
|
if err := env.Parse(&cfg); err != nil {
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ echo qwerty > /tmp/secret
|
|
$ echo dvorak > /tmp/password
|
|
$ echo coleman > /tmp/certificate
|
|
|
|
$ SECRET=/tmp/secret \
|
|
CERTIFICATE_FILE=/tmp/certificate \
|
|
go run main.go
|
|
{Secret:qwerty Password:dvorak Certificate:coleman}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### Environment
|
|
|
|
By setting the `Options.Environment` map you can tell `Parse` to add those `keys` and `values`
|
|
as env vars before parsing is done. These envs are stored in the map and never actually set by `os.Setenv`.
|
|
This option effectively makes `env` ignore the OS environment variables: only the ones provided in the option are used.
|
|
|
|
This can make your testing scenarios a bit more clean and easy to handle.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := &Config{}
|
|
opts := &env.Options{Environment: map[string]string{
|
|
"PASSWORD": "MY_PASSWORD",
|
|
}}
|
|
|
|
// Load env vars.
|
|
if err := env.Parse(cfg, opts); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print the loaded data.
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg.envData)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Changing default tag name
|
|
|
|
You can change what tag name to use for setting the env vars by setting the `Options.TagName`
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Password string `json:"PASSWORD"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := &Config{}
|
|
opts := &env.Options{TagName: "json"}
|
|
|
|
// Load env vars.
|
|
if err := env.Parse(cfg, opts); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print the loaded data.
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg.envData)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Prefixes
|
|
|
|
You can prefix sub-structs env tags, as well as a whole `env.Parse` call.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example flexing it a bit:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Home string `env:"HOME"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type ComplexConfig struct {
|
|
Foo Config `envPrefix:"FOO_"`
|
|
Clean Config
|
|
Bar Config `envPrefix:"BAR_"`
|
|
Blah string `env:"BLAH"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := ComplexConfig{}
|
|
if err := Parse(&cfg, Options{
|
|
Prefix: "T_",
|
|
Environment: map[string]string{
|
|
"T_FOO_HOME": "/foo",
|
|
"T_BAR_HOME": "/bar",
|
|
"T_BLAH": "blahhh",
|
|
"T_HOME": "/clean",
|
|
},
|
|
}); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Load env vars.
|
|
if err := env.Parse(cfg, opts); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print the loaded data.
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg.envData)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### On set hooks
|
|
|
|
You might want to listen to value sets and, for example, log something or do some other kind of logic.
|
|
You can do this by passing a `OnSet` option:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Username string `env:"USERNAME" envDefault:"admin"`
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := &Config{}
|
|
opts := &env.Options{
|
|
OnSet: func(tag string, value interface{}, isDefault bool) {
|
|
fmt.Printf("Set %s to %v (default? %v)\n", tag, value, isDefault)
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Load env vars.
|
|
if err := env.Parse(cfg, opts); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print the loaded data.
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg.envData)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Making all fields to required
|
|
|
|
You can make all fields that don't have a default value be required by setting the `RequiredIfNoDef: true` in the `Options`.
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Username string `env:"USERNAME" envDefault:"admin"`
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
cfg := &Config{}
|
|
opts := &env.Options{RequiredIfNoDef: true}
|
|
|
|
// Load env vars.
|
|
if err := env.Parse(cfg, opts); err != nil {
|
|
log.Fatal(err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Print the loaded data.
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", cfg.envData)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Defaults from code
|
|
|
|
You may define default value also in code, by initialising the config data before it's filled by `env.Parse`.
|
|
Default values defined as struct tags will overwrite existing values during Parse.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"log"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/caarlos0/env/v6"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
type Config struct {
|
|
Username string `env:"USERNAME" envDefault:"admin"`
|
|
Password string `env:"PASSWORD"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
var cfg = Config{
|
|
Username: "test",
|
|
Password: "123456",
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
if err := env.Parse(&cfg); err != nil {
|
|
fmt.Println("failed:", err)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
fmt.Printf("%+v", cfg) // {Username:admin Password:123456}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
