Simple staging

Simple module to define current staging level in project.

Motivation

This is a simple module to parse current staging value from environment variables or your code like this to achieve software release life cycle more easily.

Usage

As default, it would read a staging value from process.env.STAGE value and give it as an enum value with some simple flags such as inhouse and real to check if it is inhouse stage.

import { envDefault as currentStage } from 'simple-staging';

if (currentStage.flags.inhouse) {
  // Some codes for inhouse environment.
}

if (currentStage.flags.real) {
  // Some codes for real environment.
}

The case of React

In react, it doesn't use process.env.STAGE easily because there is no env in react environment. But the useful plugin captures environment variables that starts with REACT_APP_ prefix so we can use process.env.REACT_APP_STAGE instead of STAGE.

Default flags

Flags	Levels	nodejs env	React env
flags.inhouse	Test, Local, Alpha	STAGE_INHOUSE_LEVELS	REACT_APP_STAGE_INHOUSE_LEVELS
flags.real	Beta, Demo1, Demo2, Demo3, ..., Experimental, UserTest RC, Release, Hotfix	STAGE_REAL_LEVELS	REACT_APP_STAGE_REAL_LEVELS
flags.debug	Test, Local, Alpha, Beta	STAGE_DEBUG_LEVELS	REACT_APP_STAGE_DEBUG_LEVELS

More flags

If you want to define more flags such as verbose, you can parse your staging flags with your custom attributes via $stage parser.

import { $stage, StagingLevel } from 'simple-staging';

const currentStage = $stage(process.env.STAGE, {
  attributes: {
    verbose: [StagingLevel.LOCAL, StagingLevel.ALPHA],
  },
});

if (currentStage.flags.verbose) {
  // Some codes for verbose environment.
}

Staging level

It has simple 39 levels.

enum StagingLevel {
  Test = 'test',
  Local = 'local',
  Alpha = 'alpha',
  Experimental = 'experimental',
  UserTest = 'usertest',
  Beta = 'beta',
  Demo1 = 'demo1',
  Demo2 = 'demo2',
  Demo3 = 'demo3',
  ...,
  Demo30 = 'demo30',
  RC = 'rc',
  Release = 'release',
  Hotfix = 'hotfix',
}
