Hi,

Do you know if we have something like System.getenv() jvm method but that works for js and native as well?

[mbonnin]

On native, you should be able to use https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getenv.3.html

Oh, thanks, than I can create an expect/actual, I just need the js then.

[mbonnin]

In node, it looks like you have a process.env

[mbonnin]

That will only work if you're running in nodeJS. I don't think the browser has access to the host environment variables

[GarouDan]

@mbonnin, do you think this getenv function will only work with Linux or would it work with other native targets too?

[mbonnin]

It's part of stdlib, it should be fairly portable

[GarouDan]

Oh, cool, thanks for letting me know

[mbonnin]

Linux/MacOS should work , I'm slightly less confident about windows but I don't see why it wouldn't work there as well

[GarouDan]

Cool, I’ll try to write a simple code to test 😉
Thanks
