ZEIT NOW variable secrets

I'm looking for a way to refer to a different set of secrets(env variables) depending on the value of another env variable.

i.e.
if (process.env.STAGE === "test") return config = process.env.TEST_CONFIG

I know that with automated github deployments there are included env variables

But how do I reference them correctly? For example:

const config = process.env.NOW_GITHUB_COMMIT_REF === 'master' ? prod : dev;

Doesn't work for me.

(NOW_GITHUB_COMMIT_REF: The branch that the app was deployed using.)

Solution

  • I just duplicate my answer here from Spectrum.

    Folder structure:

    config/
    dev.json
    test.json
    prod.json
    index.js
api/
    search.js

    config/index.js

    const devConfig = require('../config/dev');
const testConfig = require('../config/test');
const prodConfig = require('../config/prod');

const { NOW_GITHUB_COMMIT_REF } = process.env;
if (NOW_GITHUB_COMMIT_REF === 'test') 
  return testConfig;
else if (NOW_GITHUB_COMMIT_REF === 'master') 
  return prodConfig;
else
  return devConfig;

    api/search.js

    const config = require('../config');

    In that case, master branch gets prod config, test branch - test config, all other branches - dev config.
