This is a package to help control different contexts on your node/web application.
Run yarn add @blast-engine/context or npm i @blast-engine/context.
Run yarn context:select to select a previously declared context.
Run yarn context:current to see the currently selected context.
Run yarn context:set [context] to explicitly set your current context to the specified context name.
On the root directory of your application, create a file called contexts.config.js. In this file, you need to declare your different contexts. Your contexts.config.js file should follow this format:
module.exports = () => ({
onSelect: context => null,
// after selecting a context using `yarn context:select`,
// this function will be called with the selected contexts values
// as a parameter to the function
contexts: {
prod: {
_showInSelect: true,
// if set to false, the context will not appear
// in `yarn context:select`
yourConfigKeys: {
apiKey: "apiKey"
},
importantEnvParamForContext: "super important"
},
dev1: {
_showInSelect: true,
yourConfigKeys: {
apiKey: "apiKey"
},
importantEnvParamForContext: "less important"
}
}
})After selecting a context, a file called active-context will be automatically generated, listing your active context. Make sure to add active-context file to your .gitignore.
To have access to the environment parameters based on different context, you can edit the onSelect function such that it would write the specified parameters in the context into a file:
onSelect: context => fs.writeFileSync(
'./__env_config__.json',
JSON.stringify(context.yourConfigKeys)
)
