envify is a browserify transform that replaces environment variable references in your JavaScript code with their actual values at bundle time. This allows you to use different configurations for different environments (development, production, etc.) without needing to modify your code. It's particularly useful for hiding API keys or toggling features based on environment variables. This approach enhances security and simplifies deployment by ensuring environment-specific configurations are baked directly into the final bundle.
Envify's release frequency peaked in 2014 and 2015 with several versions released per month. The package saw consistent releases in its early years (2013-2017), but release frequency sharply declined since then. No releases have occurred since July 2017, indicating a prolonged period of inactivity for the package.
Envify's npm package downloads saw consistent performance between March and October 2024, with a jump in November. Downloads decreased in December 2024, then a steady increase through July 2025, peaking at 2.5 million. August 2025 downloads dipped, and September’s partial data suggests a further decrease.
