/*
depending on which environment this is ran in, myEnvVal would be something different
in prod: myEnvVal will be '123'
in qa: myEnvVal will be '234'
in test: myEnvVal will be '345' (defaults to local if env is not found)
*/

setEnvironments

Set the potential environments and the tests used to determine which environment the code is currently being executed in.

import { setEnvironments } from '@availity/env-var';
setEnvironments(possibleEnvironments[, replaceExisting])

Required params

• possibleEnvironments: An object with keys which match the name of the potential environments and the values are the tests which are ran to determine if the environment is the current one.

These tests can be

• String: A string will be used to check an exact match.

• Array: An array containing any of the above types.

Optional params

• replaceExisting: Boolean, when true possibleEnvironments will replace the existing environments instead of merging.

Example

import { setEnvironments } from '@availity/env-var';
setEnvironments({
  local: ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost'],
  test: [/^t(?:(?:\d\d)|(?:est))-apps$/],
  qa: [/^q(?:(?:\d\d)|(?:ap?))-apps$/],
