Environment Variables
Configure your Backend
Environment Variables are key-value pairs used to store configuration settings and parameters, influencing the behavior and settings of your services at runtime.
Here is how you would access an environment variable, MY_NHOST_CONFIG
, from a function:
functions/print-env.ts
import { Request, Response } from 'express'
export default (req: Request, res: Response) => {
res.status(200).send(`${process.env.MY_NHOST_CONFIG} ${req.query.name}!`)
}
Variables created are available to all services, including Run Services and Functions
Adding Environment Variables
[[global.environment]]
name = 'MY_NHOST_CONFIG'
value = "Nhost is Awesome!"
System Environment Variables
System environment variables are generated and managed by Nhost. The following variables are available:
NHOST_ADMIN_SECRET
NHOST_WEBHOOK_SECRET
NHOST_SUBDOMAIN
NHOST_REGION
NHOST_HASURA_URL
NHOST_AUTH_URL
NHOST_GRAPHQL_URL
NHOST_STORAGE_URL
NHOST_FUNCTIONS_URL
NHOST_JWT_SECRET
NHOST_ADMIN_SECRET
, NHOST_WEBHOOK_SECRET
and NHOST_JWT_SECRET
are populated with values from their corresponding secrets.
Example values:
NHOST_ADMIN_SECRET={{ secrets.HASURA_GRAPHQL_ADMIN_SECRET }}
NHOST_WEBHOOK_SECRET={{ secrets.NHOST_WEBHOOK_SECRET }}
NHOST_SUBDOMAIN=abv123abc
NHOST_REGION=eu-central-1
NHOST_HASURA_URL=https://abc123abc.hasura.eu-central-1.nhost.run/console
NHOST_AUTH_URL=https://abc123abc.auth.eu-central-1.nhost.run/v1
NHOST_GRAPHQL_URL=https://abc123abc.graphql.eu-central-1.nhost.run/v1
NHOST_STORAGE_URL=https://abc123abc.storage.eu-central-1.nhost.run/v1
NHOST_FUNCTIONS_URL=https://abc123abc.functions.eu-central-1.nhost.run/v1
NHOST_JWT_SECRET={"key": "{{ secrets.HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET }}", "type": "HS256" }
