silverstripe-envsiteconfig

View, set & override env variables using SiteConfig.

This is not a recommended module for every website, but in some cases (i.e CWP) developers are unable to view or modify
environment variables easily – a pain when it comes to modules which require certain ENV variables to be defined
(such as silverstripe-algolia).

Given the alternatives (hard-coding API keys) this module provides a half way solution, allowing website developers to
edit and view environment variables via the built in SiteConfig settings tab.

Installation

composer require wilr/silverstripe-envsiteconfig

Usage

Due to the senstive nature of exposing environment variables this module does not naively expose everything in ENV
such as database usernames and passwords. Instead, projects should individually declare what environment variables can
be modified such as ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY

Wilr\EnvSiteConfig\EnvSiteConfigExtension:
  allowlist:
    - ALGOLIA_ADMIN_API_KEY
    - ALGOLIA_SEARCH_API_KEY
    - ALGOLIA_SEARCH_APP_ID
