On development mode I would like to be able to pass the environment object instead of a file, so I can implement logic of merging whatever dotenv files I like.

Hey! I'm using import-meta-env on my project powered by vite. The installation process was straightforward. I'd say that for me the only missing feature for now is support of vite's way of importing env files. E.g. when I start vite server in dev mode, it will read runtime env, then .env.development.local, .env.development, .env.local and only then .env file. The confusing thing is that VITE_ variables get to be resolved properly, but variables I add using import-meta-env only load from one file. It would be awesome to see them being loaded in the same way.

Hi! Thank you for writing this package, it's great. The only feedback I have is that I struggled quite a lot with setting it up. I am using yarn with PnP so the path node_modules is not available, I tried different things like:

yarn add -D @import-meta-env/cli dotenv
yarn dlx pkg $(yarn bin import-meta-env) -o import-meta-env -t node18-alpine-x64

But this did not work, I ended up doing what the docker compose example also did. Which is setting up a separate layer in the Docker image and then importing the built binary in my the final nginx application. Maybe this approach could be more clearly stated? As it is more agnostic to the repository setup.

I've been using it in my last two shops, and things have gone well! Both implementations have used the Babel plugin.

One issue we've encountered involves having to fix single-quotes in dotenv key-values, for which I've composed a fix and submitted a PR: #1235. (Any chance you could provide feedback on it?)
