Before you start

The README on main branch may contain some unreleased changes.

Go to release/latest branch to see the actual README for the latest version from NPM.

Installation

NPM:

npm install @release-kit/client-dynamic-env

Yarn:

yarn add @release-kit/client-dynamic-env

Usage

Dynamically insert env

Add to your Docker entrypoint script:

# will also use .env.production and .env.production.local
export CDE_ENV="production"
# will use .env files located in apps/client directory
export CDE_ENV_DIR="apps/client"
# will take only envs prefixed with VITE_
export CDE_ENV_PREFIX="VITE_"
# will insert filtered envs into /client/dist/index.html file
export CDE_DESTINATION="/client/dist/index.html"
# will replace {{ ENV }} with filtered envs base64 string
export CDE_SLOT="{{ ENV }}"

source <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/release-kit/client-dynamic-env/main/scripts/insert.sh)

The scripts loads .env files using the following order:

  • .env (lowest priority)
  • .env.$CDE_ENV
  • .env.$CDE_ENV.local
  • .env.local (highest priority)

Environment variables are always expanded, so you can reuse them.

Extract env on client

Assume we have the following in our index.html:

<head>
  <script>
    window.env = '{{ ENV }}'
  </script>
</head>

We can extract env from window.env in production, and from import.meta.env / process.env in development:

import { extractEnv } from '@release-kit/client-dynamic-env'

export const env = extractEnv({
  env: import.meta.env.DEV ? 'development' : 'production',
  developmentEnv: import.meta.env,
  productionSource: window.env,
  validate: (env) => {
    if (!env.VITE_API_URL) throw new Error('No VITE_API_URL specified')
    return { apiUrl: env.VITE_API_URL }
  },
})

Maintenance

The dev branch is main - any developer changes is merged in there.

Also, there is a release/latest branch. It always contains the actual source code for release published with latest tag.

All changes is made using Pull Requests - push is forbidden. PR can be merged only after successfull test-and-build workflow checks.

When PR is merged, release-drafter workflow creates/updates a draft release. The changelog is built from the merged branch scope (feat, fix, etc) and PR title. When release is ready - we publish the draft.

Then, the release workflow handles everything:

  • It runs tests, builds a package, and publishes it
  • It synchronizes released tag with release/latest branch

Regular flow

  1. Create feature branch
  2. Make changes in your feature branch and commit
  3. Create a Pull Request from your feature branch to main
    The PR is needed to test the code before pushing to release branch
  4. If your PR contains breaking changes, don't forget to put a BREAKING CHANGES label
  5. Merge the PR in main
  6. All done! Now you have a drafted release - just publish it when ready

Prerelease flow

  1. Assume your prerelease tag is beta
  2. Create release/beta branch
  3. Create feature branch
  4. Make changes in your feature branch and commit
  5. Create a Pull Request from your feature branch to release/beta
    The PR is needed to test the code before pushing to release branch
  6. Create Github release with tag like v1.0.0-beta, pointing to release/beta branch
    For next beta versions use semver build syntax: v1.0.0-beta+1
  7. After that, the release workflow will publish your package with the beta tag
  8. When the beta version is ready to become latest - create a Pull Request from release/beta to main branch
  9. Continue from the Regular flow's #5 step

Conventions

Feature branches:

  • Should start with feat/, fix/, docs/, refactor/, and etc., depending on the changes you want to propose (see pr-labeler.yml for a full list of scopes)

Commits:

Pull requests:

  • Should have human-readable name, for example: "Add a TODO list feature"
  • Should describe changes
  • Should have correct labels
