vaultenv
Loads environment variables from Hashicorp's vault for Node.js application
Reasons
-
Single source of truth: .env consists of sensitive information, we share that file among others under development phase, we have to notice everyone even we change one of the variables.
-
Reduce duplication: Different microservices could share same environment variables, those can be refactored into same secret engine without multiple declarations, otherwise you have to update every repositories once it gets changed.
Install
Under development
Usage
require('vaultenv').config({
apiUrl: 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1', // vault http api endpoint
token: 'xxx', // vault token
engines: ['/secret/app'] // single or multiple secret engines
});
Then you can access the declared environment variables via
process.env.ENV_VARS_NAME
