Setting env variables

You can set environment variables for your app by creating a file called .env in the application folder.

Here is an example of a .env file:

BEARER_TOKEN=SECURE_TOKEN

Use the Deno.env.get method to access the environment variables in your app:

// File: ~/smallweb/demo/main.ts
export default function (req: Request) {
  if (req.headers.get("Authorization") !== `Bearer ${Deno.env.get("BEARER_TOKEN")}`) {
    return new Response("Unauthorized", { status: 401 });
  }

  return new Response(`I'm private!`, {
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "text/plain",
    },
  });
}

If you want to set an environment variable for all your apps, you can use the env property from the smallweb global config.

// ~/.config/smallweb/config.json
{
    "env": {
        "BEARER_TOKEN": "SECURE_TOKEN"
    }
}
