Manage NodeJS Enviroment Variables - Simple & Secure

Dont know how to manage enviroment variables for your NodeJS project ? This is a simple way to do it.

TODO:

• Create account on app.envvaults.com

Add Ons:

• Install VS Code extension Env Vaults

Why to Use ?

• with Just Two Enviroment variables EV_AID & EV_KEY you can access all required env variables.
• No need to Store any env variables in your codebase or CI/CD pipeline.
• access from Web or VS Code extension.

Installation

You can install this package via npm:

npm install envvaults

Usage

const envvaults = require("envvaults");

await envvaults.load();

envvaults.load()

The load function fetches environment variables from the Env Vaults API and loads them into your Node.js environment using the dotenv package.

Requires proccess.env to have two variables already set:

1. process.env.EV_AID => account ID can be found in Settings on app.envvaults.com
2. process.env.EV_KEY => this is secret key of vault

with these two variables, this package will fetch all the variables from vault and set them in process.env

NOTE : dont pass any arguments to load() function

Example:

//starting point of your application
const envvaults = require("envvaults-npm-package");

async function main() {
  try {
    await envvaults.load();

    const express = require("express");
    const mongoose = require("mongoose");
    // Your application logic here
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

main();

Configuration

Environment Variables

To configure this package, you need to set the following environment variables in your .env file:

• EV_AID: Your Env Vaults Account ID.
• EV_KEY: Your Env Vaults API Key.

Error Handling
