Summary

Add the ability to import environment variables from existing .env and JSON files, complementing the existing export feature.

Features Added

  • Import from .env files: Parse standard .env format with support for quoted values
  • Import from JSON files: Parse JSON objects into environment variables
  • Comment preservation: Comments above variables in .env files are imported as descriptions
  • Duplicate handling: Choose to skip or overwrite existing variables
  • File upload: Drag-and-drop or browse to upload files
  • Auto-format detection: Automatically detect format based on file extension
  • Detailed feedback: Shows count of imported, updated, and skipped variables

Technical Implementation

  • Added envvars:import IPC handler in backend
  • Created ImportEnvModal component with intuitive UI
  • Integrated import button in ProjectView
  • All imports are tracked in audit logs
  • Maintains encryption for all imported values

Use Cases

  • Migrate existing projects to ENV Storage Manager
  • Bulk import configuration from other tools
  • Share environment configurations across teams
  • Quick setup for new projects

Testing

  • Tested with .env format (with and without quotes)
  • Tested with JSON format
  • Tested duplicate key handling (skip/overwrite modes)
  • Tested comment preservation from .env files
  • Verified encryption of imported values
  • Confirmed audit log entries

Screenshots

The Import button is now available in the project view, allowing users to:

  1. Upload or paste .env or JSON content
  2. Choose format (.env or JSON)
  3. Toggle overwrite mode for existing keys
  4. See detailed import results
