Package Exports

env-schema
env-schema/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (env-schema) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

env-schema

Utility to check environment variables using JSON schema, Ajv, and dotenv.

Install

npm i env-schema

Usage

const envSchema = require('env-schema')

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  required: [ 'PORT' ],
  properties: {
    PORT: {
      type: 'number',
      default: 3000
    }
  }
}

const config = envSchema({
  schema: schema,
  data: data, // optional, default: process.env
  dotenv: true // load .env if it is there, default: false
  // or you can pass DotenvConfigOptions
  // dotenv: {
  //   path: '/custom/path/to/.env'
  // }
})

console.log(config)
// output: { PORT: 3000 }

see DotenvConfigOptions

Custom ajv instance

Optionally, the user can supply their own ajv instance:

const envSchema = require('env-schema')
const Ajv = require('ajv')

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  required: [ 'PORT' ],
  properties: {
    PORT: {
      type: 'number',
      default: 3000
    }
  }
}

const config = envSchema({
  schema: schema,
  data: data,
  dotenv: true,
  ajv: new Ajv({
    allErrors: true,
    removeAdditional: true,
    useDefaults: true,
    coerceTypes: true,
    allowUnionTypes: true
  })
})

console.log(config)
// output: { PORT: 3000 }

It is possible to enhance the default ajv instance providing the customOptions function parameter. This example shows how to use the format keyword in your schemas.

const config = envSchema({
  schema: schema,
  data: data,
  dotenv: true,
  ajv: {
    customOptions (ajvInstance) {
      require('ajv-formats')(ajvInstance)
      return ajvInstance
    }
  }
})

Note that it is mandatory returning the ajv instance.

Fluent-Schema API

It is also possible to use fluent-json-schema:

const envSchema = require('env-schema')
const S = require('fluent-json-schema')

const config = envSchema({
  schema: S.object().prop('PORT', S.number().default(3000).required()),
  data: data, // optional, default: process.env
  dotenv: true, // load .env if it is there, default: false
  expandEnv: true, // use dotenv-expand, default: false
})

console.log(config)
// output: { PORT: 3000 }

NB Support for additional properties in the schema is disabled for this plugin, with the additionalProperties flag set to false internally.

Custom keywords

This library supports the following Ajv custom keywords:

`separator`

Type: string

Applies to type: string

When present, the provided schema value will be split on this value.

Example:

const envSchema = require('env-schema')

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  required: [ 'ALLOWED_HOSTS' ],
  properties: {
    ALLOWED_HOSTS: {
      type: 'string',
      separator: ','
    }
  }
}

const data = {
  ALLOWED_HOSTS: '127.0.0.1,0.0.0.0'
}

const config = envSchema({
  schema: schema,
  data: data, // optional, default: process.env
  dotenv: true // load .env if it is there, default: false
})

// config.data => ['127.0.0.1', '0.0.0.0']

The ajv keyword definition objects can be accessed through the property keywords on the envSchema function:

const envSchema = require('env-schema')
const Ajv = require('ajv')

const schema = {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    names: {
      type: 'string',
      separator: ','
    }
  }
}

const config = envSchema({
  schema: schema,
  data: data,
  dotenv: true,
  ajv: new Ajv({
    allErrors: true,
    removeAdditional: true,
    useDefaults: true,
    coerceTypes: true,
    allowUnionTypes: true,
    keywords: [envSchema.keywords.separator]
  })
})

console.log(config)
// output: { names: ['foo', 'bar'] }

TypeScript

You can specify the type of your config:

import { envSchema, JSONSchemaType } from 'env-schema'

interface Env {
  PORT: number;
}

const schema: JSONSchemaType<Env> = {
  type: 'object',
  required: [ 'PORT' ],
  properties: {
    PORT: {
      type: 'number',
      default: 3000
    }
  }
}

const config = envSchema({
  schema
})

You can also use a JSON Schema library like typebox:

import { envSchema } from 'env-schema'
import { Static, Type } from '@sinclair/typebox'

const schema = Type.Object({
  PORT: Type.Number({ default: 3000 })
})

type Schema = Static<typeof schema>

const config = envSchema<Schema>({
  schema
})

If no type is specified the config will have the EnvSchemaData type.

export type EnvSchemaData = {
  [key: string]: unknown;
}
