aurelia-environment

A simple .env plugin developed for use with Aurelia. However, it can be used for any other JavaScript framework.

The plugin allows to specify key-value-pairs in an environment file and replace all hard-coded configuration by environment variables. The file can then be easily exchanged depending on deployment point.
