What feature or new tool do you think should be added to DevToys?
A converter that transforms text from this format:
Usage=Direct
LimitRequests=25
ConnectionString=whatever
into this format
{
"Usage":"Direct",
"LimitRequests":"25",
"ConnectionString":"whatever"
}Why do you think this is needed?
When working on many environments (like k8s), you can retrieve Environment Variables using the command printenv. It returns the variables in the format KEY=VALUE, like
Usage=Direct
LimitRequests=25
ConnectionString=whatever
However, for local development (like when using launchSettings.json for .NET projects) a JSON format is easier to use and reuse.
This functionality is useful for reading and manipulating environment variables copied from a system, like k8s or the local machine.
Solution/Idea
Usage=Direct
LimitRequests=25
ConnectionString=whatever
Must be converted into
{
"Usage":"Direct",
"LimitRequests":"25",
"ConnectionString":"whatever"
}Comments
Clearly, it's not possible to understand upfront if a number must be treated as a number, so the easiest solution is to treat everything as a string, and the developer will tweak the result.
