And you can use varlock.dev to validate them too!

100% agree - but we don't believe devs should have to wire up the tooling themselves on every project
varlock.dev has a plugin system coming very soon to connect to all these backends

🇨🇦 Devtools Toronto is returning Tues, Nov 4th at BDC Community Square.

Just tested and it works with varlock.dev!

Great to meet you and can't wait to try your game!

outside of library code, what app _wouldn't_ require sensitive tokens these days?

perfect running weather though!

🧙‍♂️it's easy to switch and then incrementally add schema as needed. Holler if you give it a try!

maybe take varlock.dev for a spin :)

awesome!

appreciate the kind words! Let us know if there's anything else you'd like to see!!

Varlock Enhanced .env files. What we like Use decorator comments to create .env config schemas. Allows for validation and type safety. Implement function calls e.g. to load a secret from 1Password. Redacts values in stdout and console methods. Supports different environments. Drop-in replacement for dotenv. What we don't like Only has native integrations for Node and Next.js (doesn’t support Turbopack yet), but there is a binary CLI to run and inject values into the environment.

Happy to be featured in today's @console.dev. More integrations coming soon!

when I beat Dwarf Fortress

glad to hear it!

🔥 My friends at DMNO have a new devtool: varlock.

It’s a drop-in replacement for dotenv, and adds a bunch of cool stuff like validation and type safety. It stores the secrets themselves in password managers or encrypted vaults.

The landing page also has a very cool RPG vibe 😄

We recently launched varlock.dev. Similar to DMNO but built on top of the .env files you're already using.

The early feedback has been really positive.

Check it out, ⭐ star us on GitHub and let us know what you think!

👋 DMNO makes your configuration safer and smarter. It integrates with the tools you already use and it's powered by TypeScript and Vite.

Slightly biased, but check out dmno.dev. We're cooking up some new stuff specifically for local dev too
