angular-env-builder

Custom angular builder to generate "src/environments/environment.ts" file based on your environment variables.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @igorissen/angular-env-builder

You must install the dotenv package in version 16.4.x as it is a peer dependency.

npm install --save-dev [email protected]

Configuration

After installation, you need to configure the builder in your Angular project. Update your angular.json file to include angular-env-builder.

1. Open the angular.json file in your project's root directory.
2. Add the builder to the desired architect target

{
  // ...
  "projects": {
    "[your-app-name]": {
      "architect": {
        "[target-name]": {
          "builder": "@igorissen/angular-env-builder:generate",
          "options": {
            "destination": "src/environments/environment.ts",
            "variables": [
              {
                "envKey": "apiUrl",
                "processEnvKey": "API_URL",
                "valueType": "string"
              },
              {
                "envKey": "apiPayload",
                "processEnvKey": "API_PAYLOAD",
                "valueType": "object"
              },
              {
                "envKey": "apiPort",
                "processEnvKey": "API_PORT",
                "valueType": "number"
              },
              {
                "envKey": "apiEnabled",
                "processEnvKey": "API_ENABLED",
                "valueType": "boolean"
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
  // ...
}

3. Replace [target-name] with the target you are customizing (e.g., build, serve, etc.), and provide necessary options as needed by the builder.
