Netlify Plugin Get Env Vars

⚠️ This plugin is meant for local development only

This plugin was created as a way to streamline local build plugin development. Currently when running a plugin locally, there is no way to grab and use environment variables from the UI. This plugin fixes that.

Usage

Retrieve Client ID for Auth

Here are the steps to get your client id from your netlify account:

• Step 1: Go to user settings
• Step 2: Under applications, create a new oauth app
• Step 3: Name your oAuth app and add any other attributes like redirects etc
• Step 4: If you click on your newly created oAuth app, you'll be able to easily grab your client id

Add Client ID

Add this plugin to a project's toml file like so:

[[plugins]]
package = "netlify-plugin-get-env-vars"

For this plugin to work you will need to include a CLIENT_ID. This will be used for auth purposes and you will have to grant the application access to your application. The CLIENT_ID can either be read in from the plugins inputs or from env vars set in your shell.

To set CLIENT_ID at the shell level run:

export CLIENT_ID="CLIENT_ID_GOES_HERE"

To set CLIENT_ID in the plugin inputs add an input like so:

[[plugins]]
package = "./netlify-plugin-get-env-vars"
  [plugins.inputs]
  clientId="SOME_ID_HERE"

At the moment, this plugin simply prints the env variables to console, the goal is to be able to pipe them to another build plugin.

Note: make it such that once auth is granted, the flow doesn't require constant auth grants
