🔮 Overview

poetry-dotenv - is the plugin that automatically loads environment variables from a dotenv file into the environment before poetry commands are run.

This plugin doesn't have any dependencies, but therefore it also supports features that python-dotenv supports (e.g. templates, interpolating variables using POSIX variable expansions etc).

⚙️ Installation

poetry self add poetry-dotenv

👩🏻‍💻 Usage

By default, plugin will load the .env file from the current working directory or "higher directories".

To prevent poetry from loading the dotenv file, set the POETRY_DONT_LOAD_DOTENV environment variable.

If your dotenv file is located in a different path or has a different name you may set the POETRY_DOTENV_LOCATION environment variable.

# .env
DB__HOST=localhost
DB__DBNAME=prod
DB__USER=admin
DB__PASSWORD=admin
DB__ENGINE=postgresql://${DB__USER}:${DB__PASSWORD}@${DB__HOST}/${DB__DBNAME}

# .env.dev
DB__HOST=localhost
DB__DBNAME=dev
DB__USER=root
DB__PASSWORD=root
DB__ENGINE=postgresql://${DB__USER}:${DB__PASSWORD}@${DB__HOST}/${DB__DBNAME}

# main.py
if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        print(f"Host: {os.environ['DB__HOST']!r}")
        print(f"Name: {os.environ['DB__DBNAME']!r}")
        print(f"Username: {os.environ['DB__USER']!r}")
        print(f"Password: {os.environ['DB__PASSWORD']!r}")
        print(f"Engine: {os.environ['DB__ENGINE']!r}")

    except KeyError:
        print("Environment variables not set!")
