Server Variables for Umbraco

Server variables exposed to the browser in Umbraco 15+ using the importmap.

What is it?

Server Variables was a thing up until Umbraco 13, where you could add variables to your site through the ServerVariablesParser.Parsing notification and access them in the Backoffice through Umbraco.Sys.ServerVariables. This was removed in Umbraco 14, but this package reintroduces the concept with a twist.

In short, this package gives you a simple way to expose server variables to your Umbraco Backoffice and/or Frontend. It allows you to add server variables to your site without having to write any or only a little code.

The variables are added either through appsettings.json or through the IServerVariablesService interface and are accessed through an importmap in the browser:

import vars from 'vars';

console.log(vars); // { apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com' }

Installation

Add the package to an existing Umbraco website (v15+) from nuget:

dotnet add package Umbraco.Community.ServerVariables

Usage

See the documentation for more information.
