# dotenv-expand
<img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/motdotla/dotenv-expand/master/dotenv-expand.png" alt="dotenv-expand" align="right" />
Dotenv-expand adds variable expansion on top of
[dotenv](http://github.com/motdotla/dotenv). If you find yourself needing to
expand environment variables already existing on your machine, then
dotenv-expand is your tool.

## Install
```bash
npm install dotenv --save
npm install dotenv-expand --save
```
## Usage
As early as possible in your application, require dotenv and dotenv-expand, and
wrap dotenv-expand around dotenv.
```js
var dotenv = require('dotenv')
var dotenvExpand = require('dotenv-expand')
var myEnv = dotenv.config()
dotenvExpand(myEnv)
```
See [test/.env](./test/.env) for examples of variable expansion in your `.env`
file.
