dotenv-expand breaking build when "$" is used
Created by: jdcrensh
We use variables that include $
within the strings, which we don't want to be expanded. Escaping with \$
works fine when it occurs at the start of the string, but not anywhere else within the string.
Example:
REACT_APP_MYVAR=\$bar.baz
<- works as expected, value is "$bar.baz"
REACT_APP_MYVAR=foo\$bar.baz
<- I'd expect "foo$bar.baz"
but I get "foo\.baz"
I also tried working around the problem, like so:
BAR=\$bar
REACT_APP_MYVAR=foo$BAR.baz
But it gave the same result of "foo\.baz"
