Env Generator
=============

[](#env-generator)

The architecture imagined to use this component is a [monorepo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monorepo) deployed on an AWS EC2 instance.

This tool allows you to download environment variables from AWS Secrets Manager and add them to your environment files. It is useful if you have several components.

```
monorepo
├── api                 # An api component
│   ├── env             # If ENV_GENERATOR_SPECIFIC_PATH=env
│   │   └── prod.env    # env-generator will generate this file
│   └── ...
├── redis
│   ├── env             # If ENV_GENERATOR_SPECIFIC_PATH=env
│   │   └── prod.env    # env-generator will generate this file
│   └── ...
├── ...
└── .env                # Specify here the environment variables for env-generator

```
