vcap-squash

Turn VCAP_SERVICES into flat env vars

Download

Visit the releases page and download the binary for your system

Usage

This application will parse the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable and output the unix exports of the flattened version.

Flattened vcap environment variables start with the service name and append _ for each nested credential. For example:

$ VCAP_SERVICES='{ "user-provided": [ {
  "name": "myservice",
  "credentials": {
    "url": "myservice.com",
    "username": "josh",
    "password": "secret",
    "nested": {
      "key": "value",
      "number": 123
    }
  }
} ] }' ./vcap-squash

export MYSERVICE_URL="myservice.com"
export MYSERVICE_USERNAME="josh"
export MYSERVICE_PASSWORD="secret"
export MYSERVICE_NESTED_KEY="value"
export MYSERVICE_NESTED_NUMBER=123

To set your environment variables using this output, use

eval "$(./vcap-squash)"
