  ⚙️ Bundle env var in CRA at launch time!

  

This is what cra-envs does.

• Next.js

  2,043 120,572 10.0 JavaScript

  The React Framework

  

But NextJS does statically build. Sure server side code would be dynamic but not any client side static content. I've found https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-docker-multi-env now which is new but its not a great solution either.

But... we don't control the environment where it is deployed! We ship an open source application called 0nyxia. Our users deploy it themselves. We can't tell them to clone and build. Beside even if we had full control. It's a waste of resources to rebuild the whole application when it's possible to just restart with different environment variables.

  🔒 Makes sure you don't accidentally deploy apps with missing or invalid environment variables.

In next JS it's much easier. It's not static, node can read the environment variables. For validation and type safety, you can use this.

• react-env

  Runtime environment variables for react apps.

This package does the same for Next.js. It's actually a very simple concept that can be done without the package tbh. We use an older version at my work and there's a few challenges (ie11 support which thank God is becoming less of an issue) also the package ingests the env vars in a different order than Next.js which can be a trip at first. The second complaint can be solved by a home grown solution lol.
