Step 2

Adding your own environment variables:​

Adding your own environment variables is as easy as defining it. To add your own environment variables, follow the steps below:

  1. Add your variables in the .env files. Let's say you want to add PATH variable for only .env.dev, then first add it into .env.dev file like this:
.env.dev

BASE_API_URL=https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/
ENV=Development
PATH=Home
  1. Now, Go to app_config.dart inside the ** lib -> app -> config**. There will be an abstract class called EnvDev. Add PATH variable like this:
app_config.dart

@Envied(path: '.env.dev')
abstract class EnvDev {
 @EnviedField(varName: 'BASE_API_URL', obfuscate: true)
 static final String ENV_BASE_API_URL = _EnvDev.ENV_BASE_API_URL;
 @EnviedField(varName: 'ENV', obfuscate: true)
 static final String ENV_NAME = _EnvDev.ENV_NAME;
 @EnviedField(varName: 'PATH', obfuscate: true)
 static final String ENV_PATH = _EnvDev.ENV_PATH;
}
  1. Now run the Flutter Build Runner command in order to generate your encrypted environment variables.
dart run build_runner build
  1. The last step is to create the getters for the variable. You can look into the implementation of other getter variables inside the app_config.dart file in order to implement it.
