rbxts-transform-env

Transformer for Roblox TypeScript compiler that allows getting values of process.env as string literals

Installation

npm i rbxts-transform-env, then in your tsconfig.json:

    "compilerOptions": {
        ...
        "plugins": [
            {
                "transform": "rbxts-transform-env"
            }
        ],
    }

For example, you have a .env file in your project directory as following:

HELLO=Hello, World!
NUMBER=20

Then in the typescript code, you can do

import { $env } from "rbxts-transform-env";

function sayHello() {
    return $env("HELLO");
}

const number = $env<number>("NUMBER")

and it will compile to

local function sayHello()
    return "Hello, World!"
end

local number = 20

If you want multiple ENV files, you can use the files argument in your plugin.
