Using environment variables inside the custom visual

Is there a way to use environment variables inside the custom visual that I can access as 

process.env.<name_of_variable>?
 
I'm using React inside the custom visual.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

The default webpack configuration of powerbi-visuals-tools doesn't expose process.env, so if you want to set up something similar, you must create your webpack configuration using the powerbi-visuals-webpack-plugin. In this configuration, you could, for example, use webpack.DefinePlugin to define an object that passes these values from an appropriate .env file.

Regards,

 

Daniel

Remember that Power BI Service has no concept of "environment variable"
