🌍 @env Function in TuskLang Java

"We don't bow to any king" - Master environment variables like a Java master

TuskLang Java provides powerful @env function capabilities that integrate seamlessly with Spring Boot, JPA, and modern Java patterns. Access, validate, and manage environment variables with enterprise-grade security and flexibility.

🎯 Overview

@env function in TuskLang Java combines the power of Java's environment variable handling with TuskLang's dynamic configuration system. From secure environment access to validation and transformation, we'll show you how to build robust environment variable management.

🔧 Core @env Function Features

🚀 Best Practices

1. Environment Variable Organization

// ✅ Good: Clear, structured environment variable access
String goodEnvAccess = """
    app_config: {
        name: @env("APP_NAME", "TuskLang App")
            .validate(name -> name != null, "App name required")
            .sanitize_input()
            .cache("1h")
    }
    """;

// ❌ Bad: Unstructured environment variable access String badEnvAccess = """ app_config: { name: @env("APP_NAME") } """;

2. Validation and Error Handling

// ✅ Good: Comprehensive validation and error handling
String goodValidation = """
    secure_config: {
        api_key: @env("API_KEY")
            .validate(key -> key != null && key.length() >= 32, "API key too short")
            .encrypt("AES-256-GCM")
            .catch(error -> @env("FALLBACK_API_KEY"))
    }
    """;

// ❌ Bad: No validation or error handling String badValidation = """ secure_config: { api_key: @env("API_KEY") } """;

3. Performance Optimization

// ✅ Good: Optimized environment variable access
String goodOptimization = """
    optimized_config: {
        api_key: @env("API_KEY")
            .cache("1h")
            .lazy()
