Narochno.EnvFile

Inspired by https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv

This will load .env files into IConfiguration (instead of Environment Variables like dotenv) to be used by .NET Core applications.

Usage

Just like other configuration providers. Recommended to load ENV VARs for your 12 factor apps after attempting to load from the local file.

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
    }

    public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args)
    {
        var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            // can overload to have other file names than .env
            .AddEnvFile()
            // overwrite env file vars
            .AddEnvironmentVariables()
            .Build();
        return new WebHostBuilder()
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .UseKestrel()
            .UseUrls(configuration.GetValue<string>("HOST"))
            .ConfigureLogging(lb => { lb.AddConsole(); })
            .UseConfiguration(configuration);
    }
}
