Getting values from a config file or environment variable in meteor

Question

This would be very useful for storing API keys or other sensitive information. From what I understand, you can use config files locally but they won't work on meteor.com, but I heard a rumor that environment variables were soon to be supported, or are already as of a recent release, but I can't find any examples.

Can someone provide an example of how to retrieve a value from an environment variable or some other safe location?

Answer 1

You can actually access the process object to retrieve environment variables in Meteor. In essence, just do the same as in this solution
