get-ci-env

get-ci-env

Get and normalize the environment variables from continuous integration services. This package is similar to pvdlg's env-ci but goes for a simpler approach. This results in a more restricted and lightweight (zero dependencies) package:

• Only CI services that contain all values in the environment are supported, taking away the need to manually check the returned data.
• Return a promise to indicate if a valid CI environment is detected for explicit error handling.
• Logically nested data for concise naming and easy detection of pull request context: if (ciEnvOutput.pr) { ... }.

Install

npm install get-ci-env

Usage

Example usage when running inside CircleCI:

const getCiEnv = require('get-ci-env');

getCiEnv().then(console.log);

Resulting in the output:

{
  service: 'circleCi',
  branch: 'master',
  commit: 'abc',
  repo: { owner: 'Selwyn', name: 'hedgehogs' },
  pr: { number: '3' },
}
