An extension to [Behat](http://behat.org/) to support the ingestion of environment variables into container parameters, for use in behat configuration.

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

Configure the extension as follows under Behat:

```
  extensions:
    Mdjward\Behat\EnvVarExtension:
      prefix: env
```

Any environment variables passed through to Behat will - as a consequence - be registered in the service container as parameters in the form:

`env.environment_variable_name`

...where `environment_variable_name` is the lower-case form of a given environment variable. For example, a variable `MY_TEST_ENV` will be registered as `env.my_test_env`.

The `prefix` parameter is entirely optional, and will default to 'env' if not specified.
