Inject a base url for my remote api that is called by a number of scripts in the jsreport online service

Hello,

I am able to set a root url via the dotenv package for my on premise reporting service, but I couldn't find in the documentation how do accomplish the same thing using the online reporting service.

Here's an example from my on premise server:

const process = require('process');
var getRequest = require('request');

function beforeRender(req, res, done) {
    var baseUrl = process.env.JSREPORT_BASE_URL;

    var url = baseUrl + 'balance_due_listing/';
    console.log(url + req.data.campaignId);

    getRequest(url + req.data.campaignId, function(err, resp, body) {
        console.log(body);
        if (err) {
            return done(err);
        }

        req.data.rows = JSON.parse(body);
          console.log(req.data.rows);      

        done();
    })

I'm not set on a specific method of doing this, I would just like to be able to update the baseUrl depending on my environment.

Thanks!

I see you are looking for a centralized place where to put your configurations.
You can use assets for this.

For example approach like here

Thanks, the key here for me was creating the script as an asset (config.js), not a Script.
