EB-environment-manager

A command line tool that parses a json or a csv file that contains environment variables and updates a selected Elastic Beanstalk Environment with environment variables from the csv/json file.

It can also generate a .env file that can be used with other packages like dotenv

It can handle flushing/deleting all environment variables in an environment but you must have EB CLI installed locally on your machine and you must call this program in a directory that has been initialized with eb-cli

It handles json and csv files only.

Installing

install globally via npm:

npm i -g eb-environment-manager 

Usage

This program will assume the AWS region to be defined as a global variable.

If the region is not defined as a global variable, then it will retrieve the region from the ~/.aws/credentials or the ~/.aws/config.

You can read more about how the aws-sdk handles the region here

Easiest way to switch/modify the region would be to set the AWS_REGION global variable

export AWS_REGION=<your region>
// example:
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

To run the package:

eb-manager

Available options:

Options:
    -V, --version      output the version number
    -p, --path [path]  path of the json file to parse
    -n, --name [name]  name of the eb environment to update
    -a, --app [app]    name of the Elastic Beanstalk app
    -l, --local        populates the local enviornment
    -c, --cloud        populates the elastic beanstalk environment
    -h, --help         output usage information
  
  Commands:

    delete

Examples:

eb-manager [options] <file ...>

to delete all environment variables in an elastic beanstalk environment: 
$ eb-manager delete -a <EB App name> -n <EB Environment name>
    
to populate an environment with environment variables:
$ eb-manager -c -n <EB Environment name> [file]

to generate a local file:
$ eb-manager -l [file]
