```bash
npm install -D vite-plugin-dotenvx
# or
yarn add -D vite-plugin-dotenvx
# or
pnpm add -D vite-plugin-dotenvx
# or
bun add -D vite-plugin-dotenvx
```
## Get Started
```ts
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import Dotenvx from 'vite-plugin-dotenvx'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
Dotenvx({
enabled: true, // default: true
verbose: true, // default: false, enables detailed logging
path: ['.env', '.env.local'], // default: ['.env']
envKeysFile: '.env.keys', // default: '.env.keys'
overload: false, // default: false
convention: 'nextjs', // optional, load envs using a convention like Next.js
})
]
})
```
### Advanced Configuration
Here's an example with all available options:
```ts
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import Dotenvx from 'vite-plugin-dotenvx'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
Dotenvx({
// Basic options
enabled: true,
verbose: true,
path: ['.env.local', '.env'],
envKeysFile: '.env.keys',
overload: false,
convention: 'nextjs',
// Advanced options
applyInBuild: true, // Apply in build mode as well
strict: true, // Exit with code 1 if any errors are encountered
ignore: ['MISSING_ENV_FILE'], // Ignore specific errors
generateExample: true, // Auto-generate .env.example file
updateGitignore: true, // Auto-add .env.keys to .gitignore
exposeToClient: ['VITE_.*', 'PUBLIC_.*'], // Expose specific variables to client
})
]
})
```
## Usage with dotenvx
This plugin integrates with [dotenvx](https://github.com/dotenvx/dotenvx), a better dotenv from the creator of `dotenv`. It automatically decrypts encrypted .env files during development.
### Encrypting your .env files
Given you installed `vite-plugin-dotenvx`, you may run the following command to encrypt your .env files:
```bash
bunx dotenvx encrypt
```
This will encrypt your .env file and create a .env.keys file with the encryption keys.
### Using encrypted .env files
The plugin will automatically decrypt your encrypted .env files during development. No additional configuration is needed.
### VS Code Extension
For the best development experience, we recommend installing the [dotenvx VS Code extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dotenv.dotenvx-vscode). This extension provides syntax highlighting, encryption/decryption features, and other helpful tools directly in your editor.
```bash
# Install from VS Code marketplace
code --install-extension dotenv.dotenvx-vscode
```
Or search for "dotenvx" in the VS Code extensions marketplace.
For more information on dotenvx, visit [dotenvx.com](https://dotenvx.com).
