readEnvConfig()

Home > @backstage/config-loader > readEnvConfig

Warning: This API is now obsolete.

Use EnvConfigSource instead

Read runtime configuration from the environment.

Signature:

function readEnvConfig(env: {
    [name: string]: string | undefined;
}): AppConfig[];

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
env	{ [name: string]: string | undefined; }

**Returns:**

AppConfig[]

Remarks

Only environment variables prefixed with APP_CONFIG_ will be considered.

For each variable, the prefix will be removed, and rest of the key will be split by '_'. Each part will then be used as keys to build up a nested config object structure. The treatment of the entire environment variable is case-sensitive.

The value of the variable should be JSON serialized, as it will be parsed and the type will be kept intact. For example "true" and true are treated differently, as well as "42" and 42.

For example, to set the config app.title to "My Title", use the following:

APP_CONFIG_app_title='"My Title"'
