Make .env variables available within the processed files (.js, .css, …

[iRbouh]

Hi,

Several times I needed to use environment-dependent variables inside sass or js files. Therefore, I used an environment variable preprocessor "jas/gulp-preprocess" plus a dotEnv reader "motdotla/dotenv" to read .env file. The result, I can use .env variables this way:

Inside sass file:

$img-path: '/* @echo MY_CDN_URL */';

Or inside js:

var FacebookAppId = '/* @echo FACEBOOK_APP_ID */';
// @ifdef DEBUG someDebuggingCall() // @endif

I don't know if this the right way to do this ! anyway, I like it :D . I hope you like it too :D.

Best Regards.

It's cool - but I don't think we can justify more dependencies when very few people would actually use this.

Thanks, though! Nice idea.
