Toptal’s GitHub Organization Hijacked: 10 Malicious Packages Published
Threat actors hijacked Toptal’s GitHub org, publishing npm packages with malicious payloads that steal tokens and attempt to wipe victim systems.
environ-config allows you to load your application's configuration from environment variables – as recommended in The Twelve-Factor App methodology – with elegant, boilerplate-free, and declarative code:
>>> import environ
>>> # Extracts secrets from Vault-via-envconsul: 'secret/your-app':
>>> vault = environ.secrets.VaultEnvSecrets(vault_prefix="SECRET_YOUR_APP")
>>> @environ.config(prefix="APP")
... class AppConfig:
... @environ.config
... class DB:
... name = environ.var("default_db")
... host = environ.var("default.host")
... port = environ.var(5432, converter=int) # Use attrs's converters and validators!
... user = environ.var("default_user")
... password = vault.secret()
...
... env = environ.var()
... lang = environ.var(name="LANG") # It's possible to overwrite the names of variables.
... db = environ.group(DB)
... awesome = environ.bool_var()
>>> cfg = environ.to_config(
... AppConfig,
... environ={
... "APP_ENV": "dev",
... "APP_DB_HOST": "localhost",
... "LANG": "C",
... "APP_AWESOME": "yes", # true and 1 work too, everything else is False
... # Vault-via-envconsul-style var name:
... "SECRET_YOUR_APP_DB_PASSWORD": "s3kr3t",
... }) # Uses os.environ by default.
>>> cfg
AppConfig(env='dev', lang='C', db=AppConfig.DB(name='default_db', host='localhost', port=5432, user='default_user', password=<SECRET>), awesome=True)
>>> cfg.db.password
's3kr3t'
AppConfig.from_environ({...})
is equivalent to the code above, depending on your taste.
