Environment Variables
In the Environment Variables section of Version Settings in Agnost, you have the ability to manage environment variables that play a pivotal role in configuring and customizing your application's behavior. These variables are crucial for securely storing sensitive information, configuration values, and secrets. This section offers a comprehensive overview of how to interact with existing environment variables and how to add new ones.
Adding New Environment Variables
To add a new environment variable, follow these steps:
Click the "Add Variable" button.
In the dialog that appears, you can specify the following information for the new environment variable:
Name: Enter a name for the variable. This name should be descriptive and indicative of the purpose of the variable.
Value: Enter the value associated with the variable. This could be a secret key, configuration setting, or any other sensitive information.
After providing the necessary details, click "Save" to create the new environment variable.
By adding environment variables in this manner, you can securely store and manage sensitive information and configuration settings for your application. These variables are often used within your application's code to access critical resources and settings.
Environment variables are a best practice for handling configuration data in a secure and flexible way. They allow you to separate configuration from your code, making it easier to manage and update settings without modifying your application's source code directly.
