    Library to help supply environment variables in testing and development (by dotenv-rs)

  • So, I'm still quite new to Rust and have started a little hobby project to get a feel on it.After some practice with frontend, I'll start doing some backend stuff too. Now something that I've found to be interesting is that Diesel, that's a big ORM for Rust, is recommending this crate called dotenv that was last updated 2 years ago and says it's a v0.

  • sea-orm

    🐚 An async & dynamic ORM for Rust

  • A bit of both but saying we should expect bugs caught my attention more. The other ORM sea-orm so I'll just go along with dotenv for now

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • dotenvy

    A well-maintained fork of the Rust dotenv crate

  • One thing to note is that there is a fork that fixes one or two bugs. In practice, I've never hit those bugs and just use dotenv - but it's there if you wanted something slightly more up to date.
