Configuration

Config file

While ENVNIX works perfectly out of the box with zero configuration, you can customize its default behavior by creating an envnix.config.json file in your project's root directory.

Example Configuration

json
{
    "sort": true,
    "force": false,
    "watch": false,
    "inputs": [".env", ".env.production"]
}

Options Explained

• sort (boolean | "asc" | "desc"): Whether to sort the variables alphabetically and in what order.
• force (boolean): Set to true to force overwrite the output files by default without prompting.
• watch (boolean): Set to true to always start in watch mode when running default commands.
• inputs (array of strings): Specific .env file paths to process automatically when no --input flag is given.
• output (string): A custom output file path to be used (useful if you only have one input file).
• all (boolean): Set to true to always generate for all matched .env* files by default.
• dryRun (boolean): Set to true to print outputs to stdout without writing them to disk.
• verbose (boolean): Set to true for verbose logging (helpful for debugging).
• quiet (boolean): Set to true to suppress all non-error output messages.
• check (boolean): Set to true to always run in CI/Check mode, asserting that outputs are in sync.
