Is there a system for Node.js projects to automatically populate ENV?

Question

I like using .env -files in my projects and love that foreman automatically includes those values into my ENV.

Is there something similar for Node.js?

I really don't want a plugin that needs extra configuration besides installing it, but I'd love any proper way of achieving this.

Answer 1

I seem to have finally found the right plugin and it's dotenv

Answer 2

pm2 can do this, if you specify environment in .json config files (see this as an example)
