Environment
This is a BETA feature and, as such, is currently under active development. Pay attention using this section.
A common use-case when configuring a Backoffice instance is to use interpolated variables in configuration files (e.g., for the version of a web-components library). The configurator automatically pulls the unsecreted variables of the project and uses them to correctly interpret configurations with interpolated sections.
To manage the variables used by the configurator, a dedicated modal can be opened with the Variables button on the top right corner of both the structure and the compose configuration pages.
The modal is divided into two section. The Public section lists the project unsecreted variables divided for environment (the variables are readonly). The environment can be switched to try the configuration with the different variables values.
The Test section can be used to define volatile, test-only variables in a key-value pair fashion. This can be useful for example to simulate secreted variables or to temporarily override unsecreted variables, since the configurator will use test variables over public variables when they have the same key.
Variables defined in the Test section of the modal are shared between all sections of the configurator. However, if you leave the page and return, your will lose your environment.
