inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin

library1.2.1jsnpmunverified

A webpack plugin that replaces all instances of `process.env.***` with actual environment variable values at build time. Current stable version is 1.2.1, with infrequent releases. Key features: inline all environment variables by default, select specific variables using string/object/array config, or define static values. No runtime dependencies. Simpler alternative to webpack's DefinePlugin for basic env inlining, but limited to environment variables only and primarily intended for development/debugging use cases. Last updated in 2017.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin

✓ const InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin');

✗ import InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin from 'inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin';

Plugin is CJS only; ESM import not supported.

InlineEnviromentVariablesPlugin

✓ const InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin');

✗ const InlineEnviromentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin');

Typo in v1.2.0 and earlier: `InlineEnviromentVariablesPlugin` (missing 'n'). Correct name is `InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin`.

InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin (ESM)

✓ const InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin');

No ESM support; use CommonJS require.

Basic usage: instantiate plugin without config to replace all process.env.* calls with actual environment values at build time.

// webpack.config.js const InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin'); module.exports = { plugins: [ new InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin() ] };

Debug

Known issues

breakingv1.2.0 and earlier used wrong export name `InlineEnviromentVariablesPlugin` (missing 'n'). v1.2.1 fixed this to `InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin`.

fix

Upgrade to v1.2.1 (npm install inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin@latest) and rename imports to `InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin`.

affects: <=1.2.0

gotchaPlugin only replaces process.env.*** calls with string values; objects/functions will be serialized to string (e.g., 'true' for boolean true).

fix

Use webpack's DefinePlugin or EnvironmentPlugin for complex value replacement.

affects: all

deprecatedNo updates since 2017; consider using webpack's built-in EnvironmentPlugin or DotenvPlugin for modern projects.

fix

Use webpack.EnvironmentPlugin or @maika/env-development or dotenv-webpack instead.

affects: all

gotchaIf environment variable is undefined at build time, plugin replaces process.env.VAR with undefined string, possibly causing runtime errors.

fix

Ensure all referenced env vars are set; use config object to provide defaults.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin'

Plugin not installed or misspelled package name.

fix

Run `npm install --save-dev inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin` and check import path.

TypeError: InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin is not a constructor

Using ESM import syntax (import from) instead of CommonJS require.

fix

Use `const InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin = require('inline-environment-variables-webpack-plugin');`

ReferenceError: process is not defined

Plugin not applied to bundle (e.g., missing in webpack config plugins array).

fix

Add `new InlineEnvironmentVariablesPlugin()` to the plugins array in webpack.config.js.
