env

env

Environment variable helpers with safe defaults.

What it does

• Reads string and integer environment variables.
• Returns a default value when the variable is unset or invalid (e.g. non-numeric for GetNumber).
• No external dependencies beyond the standard library.

Installation

go get github.com/teathedev/pkg/env

Usage

import "github.com/teathedev/pkg/env"

func main() {
	// String with default
	port := env.GetString("PORT", "8080")
	dbURL := env.GetString("DATABASE_URL", "")

	// Integer with default (invalid or empty => defaultValue)
	workers := env.GetNumber("WORKERS", 4)
	timeout := env.GetNumber("TIMEOUT_SECONDS", 30)
}
