What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the management of environment variables in Expo/React Native projects, ensuring type safety and preventing runtime errors through robust validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-Safe Configuration: Enforces strict typing for all environment variables using Zod schemas, providing full TypeScript inference.
  • Build-Time Validation: Catches configuration errors early in the development cycle, before deployment.
  • Source Agnostic: Works seamlessly with various variable sources like .env files, EAS Build secrets, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Use Case: When adding a new API endpoint URL to your Expo app, use this skill to define it in your Zod schema, ensuring it's correctly formatted and available at runtime.

Quick Start

Use the expo-env-config skill to define and validate the EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL environment variable.

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate environment variables in Expo using Zod?

You validate environment variables in Expo by defining a Zod schema that enforces strict typing and full TypeScript inference. This catches configuration errors at build time and runtime, preventing undefined or malformed variables from impacting your application.

What is the best way to manage type-safe environment variables in React Native?

The best way to manage type-safe environment variables in React Native is using a Zod schema. This enforces strict typing with full TypeScript inference and validates configuration at build time, ensuring application stability by preventing malformed variables.

Can I use EAS Build secrets with Expo environment variable validation?

Yes, you can use EAS Build secrets with Expo environment variable validation. The schema validation is source agnostic, working seamlessly with EAS Build secrets, .env files, and CI/CD pipelines to ensure variables are available and correctly formatted at runtime.

Why do I need Zod schemas for Expo configuration?

You need Zod schemas for Expo configuration to enforce strict typing and prevent runtime errors. By validating variables at build time, you catch configuration errors early in the development cycle before they cause application crashes during runtime.

Does build-time validation support .env files in React Native?

Yes, build-time validation supports .env files in React Native. The validation mechanism is source agnostic, seamlessly validating variables from .env files, CI/CD pipelines, and EAS secrets to ensure configuration stability across different environments.
