How to configure environment variable in heroku?

2

I found myself in need of setting environment variables in heroku for the deployment in production mode of my project.

The variables were the credentials for accessing the data base

const DB_HOST    = process.env.DB_HOST    || 'localhost';
const DB_NAME    = process.env.DB_NAME    || 'nombre_base_dato';
const DB_USER    = process.env.DB_USER    || 'postgres';
const DB_PASS    = process.env.DB_PASS    || 'postgres';
const DB_CHARSET = process.env.DB_CHARSET || 'utf-8';
const DB_CLIENT  = process.env.DB_CLIENT  || 'postgresql';

module.exports = {
  development: {
    client: "postgresql",
    connection: {
        host:     "localhost",
        user:     "postgres",
        password: "postgres",
        database: "abeedb",
        charset:  "utf-8"
    }
},

production: {
    client: DB_CLIENT,
      connection: {
        host:     DB_HOST,
        user:     DB_USER,
        password: DB_PASS,
        database: DB_NAME,
        charset:  DB_CHARSET
      }
    }
  }

 apps            manage apps
 authorizations  OAuth authorizations
 buildpacks      manage the buildpacks for an app
 certs           a topic for the ssl plugin
 ci              run an application test suite on Heroku
 clients         OAuth clients on the platform
 config          manage app config vars

To configure the environment variable of our project in heroku, follow the following steps:

  • Start your login from your account and enter your credentials with
    • heroku login
  • You locate yourself on your project or clone yourself if you do not have it
    • cd <Tu Proyecto> or heroku git clone https://git.heroku.com/<Tu Proyecto>.git && cd <Tu Proyecto>
  • now ready for configuring the environment variables
    • heroku config:set DB_HOST='escribe-tu-host' heroku config:set DB_USER='escribe-tu-user' heroku config:set DB_PASS='escribe-tu-pass' heroku config:set DB_NAME='escribe-tu-name' heroku config:set DB_CHARSET='escribe-tu-charset'
  • to see the values assigned to the variables only with
    • heroku config:get DB_HOST
  • In addition to this, if you want to see all the variables that you have configured, you can see it with
    • heroku run printenv
  • with heroku run you can execute any command in the heroku hosting and capture the output on your terminal very useful for any need.
