std/envvars (original) (raw)

Source Edit

The std/envvars module implements environment variable handling.

Procs

proc delEnv(key: string) {....tags: [WriteEnvEffect], raises: [OSError], forbids: [].}

Deletes the environment variable named key. If an error occurs, OSError is raised.

See also:ven

proc existsEnv(key: string): bool {....tags: [ReadEnvEffect], raises: [], forbids: [].}

Checks whether the environment variable named key exists. Returns true if it exists, false otherwise.

See also:

Example:

assert not existsEnv("unknownEnv")

Source Edit

proc getEnv(key: string; default = ""): string {....tags: [ReadEnvEffect], raises: [], forbids: [].}

Returns the value of the environment variable named key.

If the variable does not exist, "" is returned. To distinguish whether a variable exists or it's value is just "", call existsEnv(key) proc.

See also:

Example:

assert getEnv("unknownEnv") == "" assert getEnv("unknownEnv", "doesn't exist") == "doesn't exist"

Source Edit

proc putEnv(key, val: string) {....tags: [WriteEnvEffect], raises: [OSError], forbids: [].}

Sets the value of the environment variable named key to val. If an error occurs, OSError is raised.

Iterators

iterator envPairs(): tuple[key, value: string] {....tags: [ReadEnvEffect], raises: [], forbids: [].}

Iterate over all environments variables.

In the first component of the tuple is the name of the current variable stored, in the second its value.

Works in native backends, nodejs and vm, like the following APIs:
