Environment variable

We use react-native-dotenv to set up the environment variables since mobile version 8.6.2.

How to use

• Copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env.
• Set variable values
• For development, this should be all you need to do.
• For production build
  • Export the environment variables to have them available during the build
  • Run export REACT_APP_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASHED=<your hashed password> before you run yarn build
  • Or you can create a production env file .env.production, set the variables there and set the node_env to production before building, like this
    • NODE_ENV=production yarn build

Variables used

Currently, these are the environment variables used:

1. REACT_APP_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASHED

   • This is the master admin password for the admin page. After you have synced into a site, you would get an admin setting button in the user login page. Viewing or editing this page requires this admin password.
   • Replace the value mSupply_desktop_admin_password password with the desired password.
   • The password is sha256 encrypted. So if the password was test the value you set here would be 9f86d081884c7d659a2feaa0c55ad015a3bf4f1b2b0b822cd15d6c15b0f00a08. Please use a strong password.
   • Keep in mind that the admin password set here, cannot be replaced for this apk after the build.
   • Refer Bitwarden for the password to use.
