TYPO3 Extension getenv_typoscript

Description

This extension provides a simple way to access environment variables within TypoScript at places where stdWrap is not available. For instance on TEXT cObjects page.10.data = getenv:MY_ENV_VARIABLE works out of the box even without this extension. For scenarios where stdWrap is not available, this extension kicks in and allows to bridge the gap by using the getenv TypoScript modifier.

General usage: property := getenv(MY_ENV_VARIABLE)

Examples

The following example overrides TYPO3's baseUrl setting which does not support stdWrap out of the box and thus allows to make the setting more dynamic.

config.baseURL = getenv(MY_BASE_URL)

The next example allows to configure Solr server settings in TypoScript which as well don't support stdWrap.

plugin {
    tx_solr {
        solr {
            host := getenv(T3_SOLR_HOST)
            port := getenv(T3_SOLR_PORT)
            path := getenv(T3_SOLR_PATH)
            username := getenv(T3_SOLR_USERNAME)
            password := getenv(T3_SOLR_PASSWORD)
        }
    }
}

Installation

composer require h4ck3r31/getenv-typoscript
