+# env-safeguard
+
+A lightweight Node.js utility to validate environment variables at startup and prevent runtime errors caused by missing or misconfigured `.env` values.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install env-safeguard
+```
+
+---
+
+## Usage
+
+```javascript
+const { checkEnv } = require("env-safeguard");
+
+checkEnv({
+  PORT: "number",
+  MONGO_URI: "string",
+  DEBUG: "boolean"
+});
+```
+
+If the environment variables are valid, your application will continue running normally.
+
+---
+
+## Example `.env`
+
+```env
+PORT=3000
+MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb
+DEBUG=true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example Error Output
+
+❌ Environment validation failed
+
+```
+Missing variables:
+- JWT_SECRET
+
+Invalid types:
+- PORT must be a number`
+```
+
+
+---
+
+## Supported Types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|-----|-------------|
+| string | Any text value |
+| number | Numeric value |
+| boolean | Must be `true` or `false` |
