`lita_dotenv` is designed to allow storing an entire [Lita bot](https://www.lita.io/) config in an `.env` file. The `lita_config.rb` file should be as simple as:

```ruby
require 'lita_dotenv'

Lita.configure do |config|
  config = LitaDotenv.new(config).config
end
```

## Installation

Add `lita_dotenv` to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

``` ruby
gem "lita_dotenv"
```

## Configuration

### .env

`DotenvConfig` uses a simple parser that follows the following rules for assigning ENV variable names to Lita paths:

1. all paths begin with `LITA_`
2. all paths are designed to match Lita configure paths
3. optional type coercion is available by setting the type as a suffix:
  1. Symbol: `__TYPESYM`
  2. Boolean: `__TYPEBOOL`
  3. Integer: `__TYPEINT`
  4. JSON: `__TYPEJSON`
  5. JSON with symbole keys: `__TYPEJSONSYM`
4. underscores are handled in paths by using camelCase starting with a lowercase letter where an underscore is inserted before each uppercase letter

```
LITA_ROBOT_NAME=Configbot          # config.robot.name = 'Configbot'
LITA_ROBOT_LOCALE__TYPESYM=en      # config.robot.locale = :en
LITA_ROBOT_logLevel__TYPESYM=info  # config.robot.log_level = :info
```

### lita_config.rb

In the ideal case, the `lita_config.rb` file should be as simple as:

```ruby
require 'lita_dotenv'

Lita.configure do |config|
  config = LitaDotenv.new(config).config
end
```
