Environment variables

Environment variables available in Front-Commerce are the configurations that are likely to change depending on the current environment of your application.

Environment variables documented in this guide can be defined in three different ways:

• on your server (See How To Read and Set Environmental and Shell Variables on a Linux VPS)
• in the .env file in your root folder
• For FC Cloud users: on Cockpit, under the "Environment" tab

Debugging

• FRONT_COMMERCE_DEBUG_TOKEN (default: ""): A token required to access debug pages (/__front-commerce/debug). When set, provides access to debugging features through a secure token.

Deprecation warnings

Front-Commerce leverages the depd package to show deprecation warnings so you can upgrade your codebase for compatibility with the next major version.

A meaningful module name is used to scope depd messages, and appears at the beginning of every output line.

One can leverage depd's TRACE_DEPRECATION environment variable to display a stack trace for each deprecation. It will help you to find the line of code in your codebase that calls deprecated code.

• NO_DEPRECATION (default: ""): Namespace of deprecation warnings to ignore. See depd package documentation for more details
• TRACE_DEPRECATION (default: ""): Namespace of deprecation warnings to trace. See depd package documentation for more details

Add your own environment variables

Depending on the amount of customization you add to your Front-Commerce application, you may need to add new environment variables. Follow this guide.
