Process Environment Variables

Process Environment Variables

Process environment variables are used to store sensitive information, such as API keys, passwords, and other secret values. These values are stored in a .env file.

You must create the .env file in your local project directory (e.g., using VS Code) to store your process environment variables. Trayce cannot create or manage the .env file for you.

Creating a Process Environment Variables

To create process environment variables, you can add a .env file to the root of your collection. This file will store your secrets, which can then be accessed throughout the collection.

Example

In your collection, the structure might look like this:

      • details.bru
    • lib.js
  • .gitignore
  • bruno.json
  • package.json
  • .env

    • In the .env file, you would store a key-value pair, like this:

    key = 1232abcd

    Using the Process Environment Variables

    To access the values stored in the .env file, you can use the process.env global object. For example, if you want to retrieve the key value from your .env file, you would use:

    You can use process.env.<secret-name> throughout your collection to securely manage and access your environment variables.
