Sure, several ways! You can have a small node script that creates your
appropriate *environment.ts* on build time. Something like with templating.
Or, e.g. create a *version.json* on build time next to the env, and have
your app load from there on start - basically the same idea just slower.
Example:
const environment = { version: process.env.VERSION, environment:
process.env.ENV } // or whatever
require('fs').writeFileSync(`./src/environments/environment.${process.env.ENV}.ts`,
JSON.stringify(environment, null, 2));
Or you can have a maybe nicer-looking but more involved solution, something
like gulp-template <https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-template>.
So your environment looks like this:
{
version: '<%= APP_VERSION =>',
environment: 'prod'
}
And just run through gulp template before you serve:
const gulp = require('gulp');
const template = require('gulp-template');
gulp.task('default', () =>
gulp.src('src/environments/**')
.pipe(template({APP_VERSION: '123 or whatever you want'}))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
);
FWIW, mgechev's popular angular seed
<https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed>uses gulp-template to inject stuff
throughout the entire code base, not just env files. I find that a serious
overkill, if I need more than what I can fit into environment.ts (and nothing
stopping you from putting an entire 100-line JSON in there), I would reconsider
if I actually needed a backend for this purpose.
And usually I'll just need maybe two things, so a simple node script, without
even the npm dependency, usually does it.
