Name

lua-resty-env - Lua cache for calls to os.getenv.

Status

This library is considered production ready.

Description

This Lua library is a cache for calls to os.getenv.

This library acts as a mediator between other libraries and the environment variables. Variables can not only be get but also set.

Synopsis

    env SOME_VARIABLE;
    
    http {
        server {
            location /test {
                content_by_lua_block {
                    local resty_env = require 'resty.env'
    
                    ngx.say("SOME_VARIABLE: ", resty_env.get('SOME_VARIABLE'))
                }
            }
        }

Methods

All the methods are expected to be called on the module without self.

get

syntax: val = env.get(name)

Returns environment value from the cache or uses os.getenv to get it.

set

syntax: prev = env.set(name, value)

Sets the the value to the cache and returns the previous value in the cache.

enabled

syntax: ok = env.enabled(name)

Returns true if the environment variable has truthy value (1, true), false (0, false) or nil.

reset

syntax: env = env.reset()

Resets the internal cache.
