For a simple nodejs project,
npm init -y
npm i dotenv
# Create .env in this project
# MAKE SURE IGNORE IT IN GIT !!!
// At the top of the app
require('dotenv').config()
// Use
const db = require('db')
db.connect({
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
username: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASS
})
Use with a simple .js
file? Using command line!
node -r dotenv/config your_script.js
# Custom path
node -r dotenv/config your_script.js dotenv_config_path=/custom/path/to/.env
# Single variable

An example of using Github Action (key SECRET_TOKEN
is already defined in /settings/...),
# Use a GitHub Actions secret variable in a bash shell
- name: Step 2 - GitHub Action if statement (true)
env:

if: env.WHO_TO_TRUST == 'TrustNo1'
run: echo "I know what the secret token is!"
