Accessing environmental variables within code in Function nodes

[Robert]

Hi,

It's possible to inject environmental variables into node configuration text fields using $(ENV_VAR).

Is it possible to do something similar and access environmental variables in code defined within a Function node?

Regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,

not by default.

If you configure your functionGlobalContext in your settings file, you can expose them...

   functionGlobalContext: {

      env: process.env

   }

Then, in your Function:

   var env = global.get('env');

   // Use env.ENV_VAR

Regards,

Nick

You might want to look at the flow and writeup I put up two weeks ago:

@Nick
"env: process.env" did the trick - thanks!

@Paul
Might be a small typo in your linked document - "env:require(env)" didn't work for me.

Robert

Oops, yup a copy/paste error, it should be "env: process.env” NOT "env:require(env)”. I’ll go fix that in the write up. Thanks for spotting that.
