Module provides API to access, set and unset environment variables via exported `env` object. var { env } = require('api-utils/environment'); You can get the value of an environment variable, by accessing property that has name of desired variable: var PATH = env.PATH; You can check existence of an environment variable by checking if property with such variable name exists: console.log('PATH' in env); // true console.log('FOO' in env); // false You can set value of an environment variable by setting a property: env.FOO = 'foo'; env.PATH += ':/my/path/' You can unset environment variable by deleting a property: delete env.FOO; ## Limitations ## There is no way to enumerate existing environment variables, also `env` won't have any enumerable properties: console.log(Object.keys(env)); // [] Environment variable will be unset, show up as non-existing if it's set to `null`, `undefined` or `''`. env.FOO = null; console.log('FOO' in env); // false env.BAR = ''; console.log(env.BAR); // undefined
