check-environment-variables
Check environment variables helps verify variables set by setup files (ex: spec.yaml) and also in the environment itself.
How to use
If you want to check your environment variables you can run: check-variables
, when you execute this binary file it will
look for a file, on the same level with the name checkVariablesSpec.yaml
, and it is going to compare the variables on
the process.env and compare against the specification on the file.
See this example file:
checkVariables:
START_SERVER: # required boolean variable (true or false)
type: boolean
required: true
REQUEST_TIMEOUT: number # not require number
API_HOST: url # not required url
FROM_EMAIL: email # not required url
NAMESPACE: string # not required string
ENDPOINT: true # required variable to have on process.env
AWS_REGION: # the variable value should be one of the possibleValues
type: enum
possibleValues:
- us-east-2
- us-east-1
- us-west-1
- us-west-2
MY_OTHER_VARIABLE: # an string, starting with maria, with length from 7 to 20
type: string
required: true
minLength: 7
maxLength: 20
regex: ^maria
If you run check-variables
against this file it is going to check the varaibles START_SERVER, REQUEST_TIMEOUT, API_HOST, FROM_EMAIL, NAMESPACE, ENDPOINT, AWS_REGION, MY_OTHER_VARIABLE
on your process.env
Options of check-variables
:
# default value for yamlFile is "checkVariablesSpec.yaml"
Usage: check-variables [options] [yamlFile]
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-b, --bail Indicates whether or not the proccess exits with status non ok when oneor more variables are wrong
-f, --formatter [formatter] The formatter of output: json, inline, pretty (default: "pretty")
-h, --help output usage information
In order to check variables in a spec file, you need to run: validate-spec-yaml [MY_SPEC_FILE_PATH]
The comparison will occur according to the templates files in /templates
.
Using programatically
const checkVariables = require('check-variables');
const myVariables = {
myServerShouldStart: process.env.START_SERVER,
region: process.env.REGION
}
// follow the same specification of "checkVariablesSpec.yaml" file
const mySpecification = {
myServerShouldStart: 'boolean',
region: {
type: 'enum',
possibleValues: ['north', 'south']
}
}
const result = checkVariables(myVariables, mySpecification) // as the first parameter you can also use process.env
result.assertVariablesAreOK() // throws an AssertionError if something is not right
result.success // false when the specification is not valid, true when validation happened
result.messages // when at least one of the specification are invalid you can see what is invalid
result.hasErrors // false when all variables respects the rules in specification
result.variables // an array, items has the fields: 'variable' -> name of the variable, 'value' -> the value of variable, 'error' -> null if the value of the variable is ok against the rule, string containing the error if not ok
