gulp-env-loader

gulp-env-loader

[ English | 中文 ]

A gulp plugin for loading environment variables and replacing them in file contents.
It can load environment variables from a specified configuration file or from the default .env file.

It uses dotenv to load additional environment variables from the following files in your environment directory, and it also statically replaces environment variables that appear in the file.

.env                # loaded in all cases
.env.local          # loaded in all cases, but ignored by git
.env.[mode]         # only loaded in specified mode
.env.[mode].local   # only loaded in specified mode, but ignored by git

ignores .*.local, so you also need to add it to your project's .gitignore file:

# local env files
.env.local
.env.*.local

Install

npm install -D gulp-env-loader

Node.js > 12

Usage

• Create a .env file in the root directory of your project, or create different .env files for different environments, such as .env.development, .env.production, etc.

# .env configuration
APP_MODE="development"
APP_API="http://test-api.com"

• Create gulpfile.js

const gulp = require('gulp')
const envInject = require('gulp-env-loader')() //!recommended to put at the beginning and execute immediately

// Output the configured environment variables
console.log('env', envInject.env)

gulp.task('build', function() {
  return gulp.src('./src/*.js', { sourcemaps: true })
    .pipe(envInject())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist', { sourcemaps: '.' }))
})

• You can add the runtime parameter mode at runtime, which will automatically load the corresponding environment variable configuration file.

gulp build --mode=development
