Connect to the database in a Heroku node.js app without revealing authentication details on git -


i have node.js app pushed heroku. uses mongodb it's storage. heroku offers free mongodb addon app can connect to. question is, since connection string of format: mongodb://dbuser:dbpass@host:port/dbname, , since heroku uses git push, how push code public github repo without revealing username , password everyone?

is there no way make database open connections coming heroku app?

i have admit i'm pretty confused on whole matter.

you want read on configuration , config vars in heroku dev center. heroku expects , encourages use config variables (configured on heroku app , not in codebase) protected sensitive data passwords. use heroku config:set variable=value, note heroku addons, when provisioned, automatically add authentication information config variables. can check out has been set heroku config command.

using node, access environment variables process.env.variable, variable name of environment/config variable you're trying access.

as final note, can add local environment variables .env in project directory (add file .gitignore!)... foreman load these when use foreman start or foreman run.
