this approach does not require dot-env or any other 3rd party node dependency.

here is an example for use with nodemon:

.env

PORT=8008
OTHER='stuff'

package.json

{
  ...
  "dev": "env $(cat .env) nodemon app.js",
  ...
}

usage

$ npm run dev

in the app

console.log(process.env.PORT, process.env.OTHER); // 8008 'stuff'
