Environment

Env Vars

Environment variables are evaluated in the following order to allow flexibility when running in production:

1. .env file
2. environment variables
3. cmd flags (if available)

During development, it is recommended to use a .env file. You can find a reference under /.env.sample` to get started.

To ease your development process, we've included a command to print the environment to better understand your app behaviour. Simply run go run . info env. Together with go run . info features, you should be able to get to the bottom of an issue.
