Environments

Overview

Environments are crucial to test different features and aspects of your Storefront Application. Use the "Environments" dropdown to check the list of currently available environments and create new ones. Keep in mind that as part of the initial Git repository setup, SCAYLE will always create one pre-defined environment for you. The value of the pre-generated environment key of that environment is main .

For easy access, this dropdown is available across all pages of the Storefront Hosting solution. Therefore, if on any of the pages you decide to switch to a new environment, the shown data will change.

It is not possible to delete the created environments or change their naming upon the creation.

Environments Overview

The Repository Configuration, CLI Tokens, and Monitoring Exporter within the "Settings" section don't have a separate Environments function because their configurations apply consistently across all your created environments on the shop level.


Create an Environment

You can easily create your environment by simply clicking the "Create new Environment" button.

While creating an environment, make sure to:

  • Remember your Environment Key in case you plan to trigger the deployment via Storefront CLI.
  • Choose a clear Environment Name that will be understandable in your organization.
  • Optionally, checkmark Initialize Environment Variables in case you want your environment to be prepopulated with the required environment variables to run your Storefront Application out-of-the-box.
