I have a node app that has a line like this:
var ip = process.env.IP || 'http://localhost';
I am using it with passport-facebook
node package to define the callback from Facebook authentication:
passport.use(new FacebookStrategy({
clientID: FACEBOOK_APP_ID,
clientSecret: FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET,
callbackURL: ip + ":" + port + "/auth/facebook/callback"
},
function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
// asynchronous verification, for effect...
process.nextTick(function () {
return done(null, profile);
});
}
));
It seems that Heroku doesn't know process.env.IP
so I went ahead and defined a config var
in Heroku:
heroku config:add process.env.IP=http://app.mydomain.com
Debugging the server I see that ip is not what I want but it's http://localhost
same as I defined as the fallback in the first line of code.
How do I get node to read the config var correctly from heroku ?
You want to use heroku config:add IP=http://app.mydomain.com
; it defines an environment variable called IP
, which you access in Node.js via process.env.IP
.
