Workaround to use runtime variables in the next.js app (App Router), so you can change them after build.

env.ts

import { unstable_noStore as noStore } from 'next/cache'

export default function getEnv(name: string) {
  noStore()
  return process.env[name]
}

InjectRuntimePublicEnv.ts

import Script from 'next/script'

// Add this file to some Server Component, in my case I use this in `app/layout.tsx`

// Next.js, will inline all the process.env.SOMETHING variables into the code at build time.
// Which will force us to build the app for each environment we want to deploy to, with the
// only different being few environment variables. Instead, what we want is to get the environment
// dynamically from the runtime, so if we change them in the env and run the app again, it must
// use the new environment variables. To do this, we will inject the environment variables into
// the window object, so we can access them in the runtime.
// IMPORTANT: this can't be access with `process.env.SOMETHING`, as it will be replaced at build time,
// instead use the `getEnv` function from `env.tsx`.
const InjectRuntimePublicEnv = () => {
  const env = Object.entries(process.env).reduce((all, [key, value]) => {
    if (!key.startsWith('NEXT_PUBLIC_')) {
      return all
    }
    all[key] = value
    return all
  }, {})
  return (
    <Script
      id="inject-runtime-env"
      strategy="beforeInteractive"
    >{`window.process = ${JSON.stringify({ env }, null, 2)}`}</Script>
  )
}

Thanks a million 🙏

Created a repo based on your codes. Also added context way to share env values across ./app/*

@ritingliudd01 Very useful, thank you 🙏
