About this version
Loads variables from .env for web projects.
What is Dotenv?
Dotenv is a zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file into process.env. Storing configuration in the environment separate from code is based on The Twelve-Factor App methodology.
Why Webenv?
While dotenv provide a convenient way of loading environment variables from a .env file for Node.js, however managing environment variables for the web platform doesn't seem to be any easier.
This project is aimed to fix the those on the web platform by using fetch to request the .env file from your publicly accessible path.
It a highly customized dotenv and dotenv-expand functionality.
