@twiddler/envjoi v6.0.1

Use envjoi to read, validate and use environment variables from an .env file when building with webpack and in your finished build as well!

Example usage

// webpack.config.ts

import { envjoi } from 'envjoi'

const envSchema = Joi.object({
    PORT: Joi.number().greater(0).default(8080),
    PUBLIC_PATH: Joi.string().required(),
})

const envjoiPlugin = envjoi(envSchema)

const configuration: webpack.Configuration = {
    output: {
        // Use all environment variables including
        // those from .env in your webpack config
        publicPath: process.env.PUBLIC_PATH,
    },

    plugins: [
        // Only expose environment variables
        // validated against your Joi schema in
        // your builds.
        envjoiPlugin,
    ],
    ...

Example use in build

You can access a single environment variable ...

const FOO = process.env.FOO

Can I use or destructure process.env directly?

No. We use webpack's DefinePlugin to replace occurrences of process.env.FOO in your code with the value of FOO as defined in your .env file. To support something like

const env = process.env

or

const { FOO, BAR, BAZ } = process.env

we would need to replace all occurrences of process.env with everything you put in your .env, including secrets you do not want in your finished builds. To protect you from accidentally exposing your secrets, envjoi does not support destructuring.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @twiddler/envjoi

API

function envjoi(schema: Joi.ObjectSchema, path?: string): DefinePlugin:

• schema of your environment variables defined with Joi
• path to your .env file (default to ./.env)
• returns an instance of webpack.DefinePlugin
