gd-env

Godot 4 addon for loading .env files.

⚠️ .env files should never be commited to source control, remember to add them to a .gitignore file.

Installing

1. Copy addons to the root of your project.
2. Activate the plugin by going to Project -> Settings -> Plugins, click enable for GD Env.

Using

By default the plugin will auto load the env file at res://.env at project launch.

GDScript FileAccess.get_csv_line is used to read the lines, read the docs on it to avoid possible parsing errors.

Loading custom .env

extends Node

func _ready() -> void:
	# Optional, use only if current env should not be accesible anymore.
	Env.clear()
	
	var parse_result: Error = Env.parse("res://.env")
	
	if parse_result != OK:
		return

	# Assume MY_KEY has been parsed, its value can be accessed either way:
	# Env.get_key("MY_KEY")
	# OS.get_environment("MY_KEY)
