encrypt_env 1.1.0

An encrypted file generator

encrypt_env is a Dart package designed to encrypt sensitive environment variables to enhance security for Flutter applications. It provides a convenient solution for protecting sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, and tokens stored in environment configuration files.

Installation

To install the package, use the following command:

dart pub global activate encrypt_env

Usage

1. Navigate to the root of your Flutter project and configure a folder named environment. Inside this folder, create a file named environment.yaml. This file will contain your sensitive environment variables.

2. Add your sensitive environment variables to the environment.yaml file. For example:

environment:
  base_url: "http://localhost:3000"
  version: "1.0.0"
  production: false
  headers:
    api-key: ""
endpoints:
  endpoint_a: ""
  endpoint_b: ""

3. Run the following command in your terminal to encrypt the environment variables:

encrypt_env gen

Note: Ensure that you do not add the environment.yaml file to the assets section of your pubspec.yaml file to prevent it from being included in the final build of your application.

Merging

You can merge a YAML file by providing an environment argument using the --environment option. For example, if you pass "prod" as the environment argument, the tool will merge the environment.yaml file with a prod_environment.yaml file, if it exists, into a single configuration.

# prod_environment.yaml

environment:
  production: true
  base_url: "https://api.example.com"
  api_key: "your_production_api_key_here"
  database_url: "your_production_database_url_here"

encrypt_env gen --environment prod
