How do you set a custom config values for an es6 import?

[andersr]

It appears the instructions only provide an example for how to set a custom config when using a commonjs import, ie

require('dotenv').config({ foo: "bar" })

However, it is not clear how to do the same for an ES6 import. How do I set a custom config for this type of import?

import 'dotenv/config'

Ok, figured it out:

import dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config({ path: "./.env.test" });

It might make sense to update the readme to include an es6 config example.
