Read configuration from an environment variables while providing defaults for some envs.
Defaults can be given as keyword list or single value (equivalent to default: <value>). If the given key is
not set in the environment (and not empty, see allow_empty), default keys are checked in the following order:
- Current env, e.g.
:dev,:testor:prod :non_prod, if current env is:devor:test:default
If no value can be found, ConfigHelpers.EnvError is raised.
The following options can be added to the defaults list:
as:Typecast values to:integeror:boolean- For
:boolean, the following values are considered truthy:["true", "True", "TRUE", "yes", "YES", "t", "T", "1"] - For
:integer, passing a value that fails conversion usingString.to_integer/1causesArgumentErrorto be raised.
- For
allow_empty:Whether to accept empty strings as being set. By default, empty strings don't count as being set.
3-arity clause needed to support single default value for all envs together with options list. See get_env/2 for
documentation.
