Is it possible to set ENV variables for rails development environment in my code?

Question

I know that I can set my ENV variables in bash via

export admin_password = \"secret\"

But is there a way to do it in my rails source code s

Answer 1

I think the best way is to store them in some yml file and then load that file using this command in intializer file

APP_CONFIG = YAML.load_file("#{Rails.root}/config/CONFIG.yml")[Rails.env].to_hash

you can easily access environment related config variables.

Your Yml file key value structure:

development:
  app_key: 'abc'
  app_secret: 'abc'

production:
  app_key: 'xyz'
  app_secret: 'ghq'
