Create react app PR

There is Issue and PR to create-react-app repository to support different env configs. https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/1343

Better Use dotenv

create-react-app read variables from .env config out of the box. But if you need to read from custom config - update npm scripts:

"scripts": {
  "start": "node -r dotenv/config ./node_modules/.bin/react-scripts start dotenv_config_path=development.env",
  "build": "node -r dotenv/config ./node_modules/.bin/react-scripts build dotenv_config_path=production.env"
}

React app env

Cozy and cross OS create-react-app application runner with environment variables.

Default environment files:

  • start and test script - development.env
  • build script - production.env

Environment file example ./development.env

GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID = XXX_YYY_ZZZ
API_PROTOCOL = http:
API_HOST = localhost:9876
API_PREFIX = api
API_SECURITY_TOKEN = access_token

NODE_PATH = src/scripts
PORT = 9001

react-app-env will automatically add REACT_APP prefix to each env variable except:

With this environment file defined above:

react-app-env start

equals to

cross-env REACT_APP_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=XXX_YYY_ZZZ REAC_APP_API_PROTOCOL=http: REACT_APP_API_HOST=localhost:9876 REACT_APP_API_PREFIX=api REACT_APP_API_SECURITY_TOKEN=acess_token NODE_PATH=src/scripts PORT=9001 react-scripts start

Use environment variables:

const googleClientId = process.env.REACT_APP_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID;
const apiHost = process.env.REACT_APP_API_HOST;
