Map ENV Vars

Fill a variable map with values from ENV vars, selected based on current environment (defaults to process.env.NODE_ENV).

Installation

1. yarn add map-env-vars or npm i map-env-vars

Usage

Let's examine an example:

example.js

import mapEnvVars from 'map-env-vars'
 
const mappedEnv = mapEnvVars({
  envConfig: {
    'remote_development': 'DEV_',
    'staging': 'STAGE_'
  },
  varLookups: {
    baseUrl: '{ENV}BASE_URL',
    enableDebug: '{ENV}ENABLE_DEBUG',
    host: 'HOST',
    port: 'PORT'
  }
})
 
console.log(mappedEnv)

For the remote_development environment, ENV variable names are expected to be prefixed with STAGE_ where ever the {ENV} token is used. For the staging environment, ENV variable names are expected to be prefixed with STAGE_ where ever the {ENV} token is used.

This behavior is defined by the key-value pairs of envConfig.

Note that the HOST and PORT ENV variables are searched for directly, without prefix, because the {ENV} token is omitted from their varLookups definition. This behavior also occurs whenever your current execution ENV is not found as a key in the envConfig object. In these cases, the {ENV} token is ignored during lookup.

In a staging NODE_ENV, w/ prefix defined in envConfig options, w/ properly prefixed variable names

NODE_ENV=staging STAGE_BASE_URL=https://test.com STAGE_ENABLE_DEBUG=true HOST=localhost PORT=3000 node index.js
 
# { 
#   "baseUrl": "https://test.com", 
#   "enableDebug": "true", 
#   "host": "localhost", 
#   "port": 3000 
# } 

In a qa NODE_ENV (not defined in envConfig options)

NODE_ENV=qa BASE_URL=https://test.com ENABLE_DEBUG=true node index.js
 
# { 
#   "baseUrl": "https://test.com", 
#   "enableDebug": "true", 
#   "host": undefined, 
#   "port": undefined 
# } 
 
# Note how {ENV} token is ignored when performing lookups. This is because the current 
# execution ENV is not found as a key in the envConfig object. 
# There are also undefined values here because some ENV values were not set during invocation.
