CloudEnv Node

Installing CloudEnv’s Node Library is easy.

$ npm install cloudenv-hq --save

Or if you are using Yarn, you might try this command:

$ yarn add cloudenv-hq

Here is an example of a simple hello.js file you could use to test CloudEnv with.

require("cloudenv-hq")

console.log(process.env.FOO)

But if you run this now you would get a strange result:

$ node hello.js
undefined

That’s because we haven’t created the CloudEnv environment variable yet.

So the next step is initializing the app:

$ cloudenv init
Name of App: nodetest
==> SUCCESS: You have created the app 'nodetest' in CloudEnv. Try the following command next:
EDITOR=nano cloudenv edit
==> REMEMBER: You need to distribute the following file to all your team members and deployment servers
/home/lucas/nodetest/.cloudenv-secret-key

And now you can modify your environmental variables using cloudenv edit

$ cloudenv edit
FOO=bar

Finally, we can get the output we expect.

$ node hello.js
bar
