A React Native library that exposes environment configuration variables from .env files to JavaScript code in mobile apps, following 12-factor app principles. It supports iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows via a native module with autolinking.

Use cases

• load API keys and endpoints from a .env file in a React Native app
• manage different config variables per build environment (dev, staging, production)
• access environment variables from JavaScript on iOS and Android
• apply 12-factor config practices to mobile apps
• switch API URLs between app flavors and schemes

When to choose

• you build React Native apps and need per-environment config variables from .env files
• you want a mature, widely used config library with multi-platform support
• you need config values available to both native and JavaScript code

When to avoid

• you need to store secrets securely in the app bundle - the library explicitly does not encrypt or obfuscate values
• you are not using React Native
• you need runtime-remote configuration rather than build-time env files
