next-runtime-dotenv

Expose environment variables to the runtime config of Next.js

CI

Getting started

$ yarn add next-runtime-dotenv

This Next.js plugin uses dotenv to expose environment variables to the Next.js runtime configuration. It requires [email protected].

Usage

This module exposes a function that allows to configure a Next.js plugin.

In your next.config.js:

const nextRuntimeDotenv = require('next-runtime-dotenv')

const withConfig = nextRuntimeDotenv({
  // path: '.env',
  public: [
    'MY_API_URL'
  ],
  server: [
    'GITHUB_TOKEN'
  ]
})

module.exports = withConfig({
  // Your Next.js config.
})

Then in your page, use the configuration values as such:

import getConfig from 'next/config'

const {
  publicRuntimeConfig: {MY_API_URL},  // Available both client and server side
  serverRuntimeConfig: {GITHUB_TOKEN} // Only available server side
} = getConfig()

function HomePage() {
  // Will display the variable on the server’s console
  // Will display undefined into the browser’s console
  console.log(GITHUB_TOKEN)

  return (
    <div>
      My API URL is {MY_API_URL}
    </div>
  )
}

export default HomePage

Serverless deployment

This module is not compatible with serverless deployment as publicRuntimeConfig and serverRuntimeConfig from next/config will not be exposed. You should use build-time configuration.

Phases

This plugin leverages [email protected] and build phases. It exposes a plugin function in order to run the plugin only when running the server (PHASE_DEVELOPMENT_SERVER and PHASE_PRODUCTION_SERVER).
