Configuration (environment)

An application needs to setup different configurations, such as for different deployment environments (dev, test, prod).

1. Define configuration variables

• Edit src/client/app/shared/config/env.config.ts to add the variables required.

2. Create and / or edit configurations

• In tools/env/, for example tools/env/dev.ts
• As an example, create a test.ts so as to be able to specify different backend servers for testing

3. Use in application - Import and use the Config:

    import { Config } from '../config/env.config';
    private webServiceURL: string = Config.WEBSERVICEURL;
   

4. Run node server using configuration

    npm start -- --env-config test
   

5. Observe the values

• By default the Configuration object is printed to the console when the application starts

5. Adjust build to use configurations

• If you need to change the configurations during certain tasks, edit package.json
