dotenv
Load environment variables at runtime from a .env file.
about
Deploying applications should be simple. This implies constraints:
The twelve-factor app stores config in environment variables (often shortened to env vars or env). Env vars are easy to change between deploys without changing any code... they are a language- and OS-agnostic standard.
An environment is the set of variables known to a process (say, PATH, PORT, ...).
It is desirable to mimic the production environment during development (testing,
staging, ...) by reading these values from a file.
This library parses that file and merges its values with the built-in
Platform.environment map.
