BuildENV - Visual Studio Code Extension

Overview

BuildENV simplifies the creation of .env files for different environments (dev, stg, prod) based on a single env.json file.

Features

• Reads env.json from your workspace.
• Generates .env.dev, .env.stg, and .env.prod files.
• Automatically opens the first generated .env file.
• Shows error messages for missing files or issues.

Usage

1. Create env.json in your workspace root:

   {
       "Section": [
           { "Name": "Variable1", "dev": "value1_dev", "stg": "value1_stg", "prod": "value1_prod" },
           { "Name": "Variable2", "dev": "value2_dev", "stg": "value2_stg", "prod": "value2_prod" }
       ]
   }
   

2. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), type BuildENV.

3. The extension generates .env files and opens the first one.

Example

Given env.json:

{
    "DatabaseConfig": [
        { "Name": "DB_HOST", "dev": "localhost", "stg": "staging.db.example.com", "prod": "prod.db.example.com" },
        { "Name": "DB_PORT", "dev": "5432", "stg": "5432", "prod": "5432" }
    ]
}

Generates .env.dev, .env.stg, and .env.prod files.
