GoLobby Env is a lightweight package for loading OS environment variables into structs for Go projects.

Documentation

Supported Versions

It requires Go v1.16 or newer versions.

Installation

go get github.com/golobby/env/v2

Usage Example

The following example demonstrates how to use GoLobby Env package.

type Config struct {
    Debug bool      `env:"DEBUG"` // Possible Values: "true", "false", "1", "0"
    App struct {
        Name string `env:"APP_NAME"`
        Port int16  `env:"APP_PORT"`
    }
    Database struct {
        Name string `env:"DB_NAME"`
        Port int16  `env:"DB_PORT"`
        User string `env:"DB_USER"`
        Pass string `env:"DB_PASS"`
    }
    IPs []string `env:IPS` // Possible Value: "192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2"
    IDs []int32  `env:IDS` // Possible Value: "10, 11, 12"
}

config := Config{}
err := env.Feed(&config)

// Use `config` struct in your app!

Usage Tips

• The Feed() function gets a pointer of a struct.
• It ignores empty OS environment variables.
• It supports nested structs and struct pointers.

Field Types

GoLobby Env uses the GoLobby Cast package to cast OS environment variables to related struct field types. Here you can see the supported types:
