Testing and Debugging Your Env Config
Short summary
CtroEnv provides isolated environment variable testing via objectSource() without mutating process.env, comprehensive error reporting with four specific error codes, and automatic secret masking. Framework plugins and CLI tools validate configurations during builds and CI/CD pipelines to prevent invalid or incomplete configs from reaching production.
- •objectSource() enables isolated testing without global mutation or beforeEach/afterEach cleanup
- •Four error codes (missing_required, type_mismatch, invalid_value, validation_failed) surface all issues at once
- •CLI and framework plugins validate configs in CI/CD and builds, blocking deployments with missing or invalid environment variables
