Module: Appydays::Dotenviable

Defined in:
lib/appydays/dotenviable.rb

Overview

Wrapper over dotenv that will load the standard .env files for an environment (by convention, .env.<env>.local, .env.<env>, and .env).

It can be called multiple times for the same environment. There are a couple special cases for RACK_ENV and PORT variables:

RACK_ENV variable: Dotenviable defaults the $RACK_ENV variable to whatever is used for dotfile loading (ie, the ‘rack_env` or `default_rack_env` value). This avoids the surprising behavior where a caller does not have RACK_ENV set, they call Dotenviable.load, and RACK_ENV is still not set, though it had some implied usage within this method. If for some reason you do not want ENV to be set, you can store its value before calling `load` and set it back after.

PORT variable: Foreman assigns the $PORT environment variable BEFORE we load config (get to what is defined in worker, like puma.rb), so even if we have it in the .env files, it won’t get used, because .env files don’t stomp what is already in the environment (we don’t want to use ‘overload`). So we have some trickery to overwrite only PORT.
