Envlogic is a library used to manage environments for your Ruby application in a similar to Rails.env way.

Installation

Add gem to your Gemfile

  gem 'envlogic'

Usage

Extend your class or module in which you want to use this library with Envlogic module.

module ExampleModule
  extend Envlogic
  # code of this module
end

Once you extend your class/module with it, you will have two additional methods (with two aliases):

  • .env (.environment) - obtain current env and work with it
  • .env= (.environment=) - set your own environment
  ExampleModule.env = 'development'
  ExampleModule.env.development? # => true
  ExampleModule.env.production? # => false

ENV variables key names and default fallbacks

Application root directory env key name

By default gem is looking for ENV variable that is based on your application root directory.

For example, if your application lies in /home/deploy/my_app it will look for MY_APP_ENV variable.

Module/class name based env key name

If there’s no env value under the app directory name key, it will fallback to the module/class based env variable name (including the whole namespace chain):

module Basic
  module Karafka
    extend Envlogic
    # code of Karafka module
  end
end

ENV['FACEBOOK_API_ENV'] = nil
ENV['BASIC_KARAFKA_ENV'] = 'development'

Basic::Karafka.env.production? # => false
Basic::Karafka.env.development? # => true

Default fallbacks

If there’s no other way to determine the environment, Envlogic will fallback to ENV[‘RACK_ENV’] and if it fails, it will just assume that we’re in ‘development’ mode.

You can also assign the environment directly in Ruby:

module Basic
  module Karafka
    extend Envlogic
    # code of Karafka module
  end
end

Basic::Karafka.env = :development
Basic::Karafka.env.production? # => false
Basic::Karafka.env.development? # => true
