Securely store environment variables away from your application
WIP: This gem is currently under active development. Until 1.0 version backwards-incompatible changes may be introduced with each 0.x minor version.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'remotenv'And then execute:
$ bundle install
When Remotenv is loaded it automatically uses Dotenv in the background to preload and other configuration mechanisms you may have to make transitioning seamless.
Remotenv automatically pre-loads itself during before_configuration phase so no configuration is required.
Use the plain ruby method as early as possible, before any ENV variables are accessed. Usually at the top of app.rb.
Run the following code before you need access to the environment variables
Remotenv.loadBelow are the main features that will ideally be implemented before v1.0. Contributions welcome.
- Local caching to protect against network errors
- Ordered override behaviour for more fine grained control
- Require/Desire to aid developer knowledge of configurations
- Add
Remotenv.configure {}functionality - Encrypted variables

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
