using an enviroment variable for local sequelize configuration : <p>I'm looking to use an environment variable inside of the config.json file of my project using sequelize. I'm using dotenv to set environment variables locally. My config.json file looks like this</p>

<pre><code>{
  "development": {
    "username": process.env.DB_USER,
    "password": process.env.DB_PASS,
    "database": process.env.DB_DATABASE,
    "host": process.env.DB_HOST,
    "dialect": "mysql"
  },
  "test": {
    "username": "root",
    "password": null,
    "database": "database_test",
    "host": "127.0.0.1",
    "dialect": "mysql"
  },
  "production": {
    "use_env_variable": "JAWSDB_URL",
    "dialect": "mysql"
  }
}
</code></pre>

<p>The issue I'm having is that I can't use variables inside the config.json file. It looks like for production I can use the "use_env_varable" key and use the env variable for my connection string. So I guess I either need a way to figure out the combined connection string for my local mysql db or a way to use variables inside the config.json. Any solutions?</p>
