Research direction

Start in config/config.go at getFlattenedStructKeys and read the related Meteor recipe in recipe/envs.go, especially populateData. Determine how the requested helper should expose environment-variable key-value pairs as a map[string]string. Done means the salt API provides those pairs for the use case described in the issue.

Description

Scope/Type: config

Related discussion here.

I think that salt should have the ability to export environment variables and their respective values through a helper function; the closest we can get as of now is through the getFlattenedStructKeys function, which allows us to get keys. (which is private in nature, as it is an utility function)

It could be helpful in situations like this, where we need to get env vars. (salt could help in exporting values (more specifically, env variable key-value pair) into a map[string]string, which can then be used in populateData in meteor.)
