How to Set Global Environment Variables for Cloud Functions

Answer: Cloud functions do not have global environment variable settings; each function's environment variables are independent.

In WeChat Cloud Development, environment variables are individually associated with each cloud function. This means you need to set their environment variables separately for each cloud function. Currently, WeChat Cloud Development does not support setting global environment variables.

Steps to Configure Environment Variables for Cloud Functions​

  1. Log in to WeChat Developer Tools.
  2. Go to the CloudBase Console.
  3. Select the cloud function for which you need to set environment variables.
  4. On the cloud function's settings page, locate the environment variables configuration option.
  5. Add or modify environment variables.

Notes​

  • Environment variables are sensitive information and should not be included in code repositories.
  • Ensure that the configuration of environment variables adheres to the Principle of Least Privilege, providing only necessary access permissions.

If you need to set the same environment variables for multiple cloud functions, you may need to repeat these settings in each function's configuration, or consider using other mechanisms (such as a configuration center) to centrally manage these variables.
