# Environment Variable

## Key: env

- Type: `dict`
- Default: `{}`
- Helm Template:
  - key: ❌
  - value: ✅
  - secretKeyRef.name: ✅
  - secretKeyRef.key: ✅
  - configMapKeyRef.name: ✅
  - configMapKeyRef.key: ✅

`env` dict contains environment variables and can be defined in few different formats

Examples:

```yaml
env:
# Key/Value pairs
  ADMIN_PASS: password
# Key/Value pairs (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS: "{{ .Values.app.password }}"

# ConfigMap Key Reference
  ADMIN_PASS:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: configMap_name
      key: configMap_key
# ConfigMap Key Reference (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.config.name }}"
      key: "{{ .Values.config.key }}"

# Secret Key Reference
  ADMIN_PASS:
    secretKeyRef:
      optional: true / false
      name: secret_name
      key: secret_key
# Secret Key Reference (tpl)
  ADMIN_PASS:
    secretKeyRef:
      optional: true / false
      name: "{{ .Values.config.name }}"
      key: "{{ .Values.config.key }}"
```

## Key: envList

- Type: `list`
- Default: `[]`
- Helm Template:
  - name: ✅
  - value: ✅

`envList` key is mainly designed to be used in the SCALE GUI.
So users can pass additional environment variables.

Examples:

```yaml
envList:
  # List entry
  - name: ADMIN_PASS
    value: password
  # List entry (tpl)
  - name: "{{ .Values.envName }}"
    value: "{{ .Values.password }}"
```

## Key: envFrom

- Type: `list`
- Default: `[]`
- Helm Template:
  - name: ✅
  - value: ✅

`envFrom` key is used to load multiple environment variables
from a `configMap` or a `secret`. With a single list entry,
it will load all keys as environment variables
defined in the specified object.

Examples:

```yaml
envFrom:
  # List entry
  - secretRef:
      name: secretName
  - configMapRef:
      name: configMapName
  # List entry (tpl)
  - secretRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.secretName }}"
  - configMapRef:
      name: "{{ .Values.configMapName }}"
```

## Key: TZ

- Type: `string`
- Default: `UTC`
- Helm Template: ❌

`TZ` key is usually defined from the SCALE's GUI dropdown.
It is also injected as environment variable into the container.
It can also be used to pass timezone to other environment variables
an app would use.

Example:

```yaml
TZ: UTC

env:
  PHP_TZ: "{{ .Values.TZ }}"
```
