Use runtime environment variables in bundled/minified javascript apps.
UsageDesigned for create-react-app-buildpack. See its documentation to use this module for Runtime configuration.
BackgroundNormally javascript apps are compiled into a bundle before being deployed. During this build phase, environment variables may be embedded in the javascript bundle, such as with Webpack DefinePlugin.
When hosting on a 12-factor platform like Heroku, these embedded values may go stale when setting new config vars or promoting through a pipeline.
How Does It Work?When developing your app, use Runtime environment variables from create-react-app-buildpack.
Then, each time the app starts-up on Heroku, a .profile.d script (installed from the buildpack) is executed which fills in a JSON placeholder in the JavaScript bundle with the runtime environment variables. The result is ð fresh runtime environment variables in the production javascript bundle without recompiling.
