Convenient wrapper for ENV

Using ENV in Ruby is like using raw SQL statements - it feels wrong, because it is. If you agree, this gem is for you.

The benefits over using ENV directly

  • much friendlier stubbing in tests
  • you no longer have to care whether false is “0” or “false” or whatever
  • NO MORE ALL CAPS EVERYWHERE!
  • keys become methods
  • namespaces which can be passed around as objects
  • you can subclass!
  • you can marshal/unmarshal your own types automatically!
  • strict mode saves you from doing validation yourself
  • and there’s more to come…
  • it’s designed to be as lightweight and as fast as possible compared to ENV
  • designed to be both hackable and convenient
