Introduction

This article features the Environment Hash Variable Plugin created by Mokxa Technologies, LLC. The Environment Hash Variable plugin for Joget DX introduces a solution for dynamically retrieving system environment variables using hash variables in the Joget Property Assistant. This enables high-code developers to build more configurable and secure Joget apps by removing manual configurations of hardcoded environment values in processes and integrations. This article will explore the functionality and capability of this plugin.

Key Features

  • Allow for dynamically fetching system environment variables, reducing manual configuration efforts.
  • Keep sensitive system settings outside the application, minimizing security risks.
  • Easily adapt configurations across different environments (e.g., development, staging, production).
  • Streamline system integrations without modifying application logic.
