Deprecated This package is no longer maintained and has been moved to code.cloudfoundry.org/go-envstruct

envstruct is a simple library for populating values on structs from environment variables.

Usage

Export some environment variables.

$ export HOST_IP="127.0.0.1"
$ export HOST_PORT="443"
$ export PASSWORD="abc123"

Note: The environment variables are case sensitive. The casing of the set environment variable must match the casing in the struct tag.

Write some code. In this example, Ip requires that the HOST_IP environment variable is set to non empty value and Port defaults to 80 if HOST_PORT is an empty value. Then we use the envstruct.WriteReport() to print a table with a report of what fields are on the struct, the type, the environment variable where the value is read from, whether or not it is required, and the value. If using when envstruct.WriteReport() you wish to omit a sensitive value you can add noreport to the struct tag as shown with Password

package main

import "github.com/bradylove/envstruct"

type HostInfo struct {
	IP       string `env:"HOST_IP,required"`
	Password string `env:"PASSWORD,noreport"`
	Port     int    `env:"HOST_PORT"`
}

func main() {
	hi := HostInfo{Port: 80}

	err := envstruct.Load(&hi)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	envstruct.WriteReport(&hi)
}

Run your code and rejoice!

$ go run example/example.go
FIELD NAME:  TYPE:   ENV:       REQUIRED:  VALUE:
Ip           string  HOST_IP    true       127.0.0.1
Password     string  PASSWORD   false      (OMITTED)
Port         int     HOST_PORT  false      80
