rad-dotenv

DotEnv file (.env) support for Delphi

• Add DotEnv file support by including radDotEnv.pas in your project
• DotEnv singleton variable created at startup (option can be disabled)
  • Simply add the radDotEnv unit to your uses clause and use DotEnv.Get('VariableName')
• Fully complies with DotEnv Draft RFC: https://github.com/radprogrammer/dotenv-RFC
• No exceptions are raised on parsing issues to prevent difficult to debug application startup issues (a logging hook is available)
• Custom paths can be searched (only the directory of the application is searched by default)
• Custom filenames can be used (utilizes .env by default)
• Custom file encoding can be specified (defaults to UTF8 by default)
• Extremely fast dotenv file parser (fastest parser tested)

Key Value Syntax Examples

• KEY=TEXT Value=TEXT
• KEY= Unquoted Values are trimmed Value=Unquoted Values are trimmed
• # full line comments supported
• KEY=TEXT #inline comments supported Value=TEXT
• KEY=TEXT#also inline comment (no space required) Value=TEXT (see Open Issue 12)
• KEY="DoubleQuoted" Value=DoubleQuoted
• KEY='SingleQuoted' Value=SingleQuoted
• KEY TEXT improperly formatted lines are ignored
• KEY="TEXT"InvalidTextIgnored" Value=TEXT
• Empty lines are ignored
• Escape sequence expansion supported within double-quoted values (option can be disabled)
  • KEY="Line1\nLine2" Value = Line1{LF}Line2
  • KEY="Line1\r\nLine2" Value = Line1{CRLF}Line2
  • KEY="Line1\"Line2" Value = Line1"Line2
  • KEY="Line1\\Line2" Value = Line1\Line2
• ${KEY} variable substitution supported within double-quoted values (option can be disabled)

KEY1=VALUE1
KEY2="ValueFromKey1=${KEY1}"   # Value=ValueFromKey1=VALUE1

• Default values can be provided with variable substitution via ${KEY-default}

KEY="Value${UnknownKey-123}"   # Value=Value123

• Available option to support variable substitution within Unquoted values (option is disabled by default)

KEY1=VALUE1
KEY2=ValueFromKey1=${KEY1}   # Value=ValueFromKey1=VALUE1

• Single-Quoted values always avoid variable substitution and escape sequence expansion

KEY1=VALUE1
KEY2='ValueFromKey1=${KEY1}'   # Value=ValueFromKey1=${KEY1}

• Either double-quoted or single-quoted multi-line values supported

ONE=`First line
Second line
Third line`
TWO="First line
Second line
Third line"

DevTool

A sample DevTool project included that loads an .env file and displays the contents in an editable memo field. A grid is displayed of the parsed entries and another grid that reveals the current system Environment Variables. A "Save and Reload env" button allows you to save the contents of the DotEnv file and see that parsed results along with a refreshed list of Environment Variables to offer a handy way of debugging .env file parsing.
