JS Runtime Env Processor
Use runtime environment variables in bundled/minified javascript apps.
Usage
Designed for create-react-app-buildpack. See its documentation to use this module for Runtime configuration.
Background
Normally javascript apps are compiled into a bundle before being deployed. During this build phase, environment variables may be embedded in the javascript bundle, such as with Webpack DefinePlugin.
When hosting on a 12-factor platform like Heroku, these embedded values may go stale when setting new config vars or promoting through a pipeline.
