A buildpack designed to pull environment variables out of VCAP_SERVICES when using a user-provided service on Cloud Foundry.
This buildpack should be used as part of a multi-buildpack setup.
If an app has user-provided services, Cloud Foundry provides information about those services in an environment variable called VCAP_SERVICES. It's JSON, and you can read more about it in the CF docs. This buildpack pulls out the name and credentials values, and provides them as separate environment variables in the format NAME_CREDENTIAL_KEY=credential_value. Note that hyphens in name will cause errors, so the buildpack converts them to underscores.
By default, the buildpack converts variable keys to uppercase. To leave them as-is, set UPPERCASE: false in the manifest.
To remove the name from the variable, set SHORTEN_VCAP: true in the manifest.
If you are setting your own buildpacks, be aware that you are taking on the responsibility for the security of those buildpacks in your application. You should check them to be aware of what you're running. To see which buildpacks are supported and maintained on your Cloud Foundry instance, you can run cf buildpacks.
