@SangramBadi Your question is missing some important details, such as what environment your code sits in; is this the browser? Is it an ElectronJS-based application? Does your app have access to node? Why do you need this env variable? – Daedalus Mar 08 '19 at 05:05

can't you use any server side back-end like node/java to get this system env variable? – Abhishek Gautam Mar 08 '19 at 05:05

2@SangramBadi I stand by my duplicate flag. Using Environment variables in any project is common practice. This is done at build time. If you are asking about at run time, then the answer is no you can not, and if this is what you are asking then it is not clear in your question. – Steven Stark Mar 08 '19 at 05:18

@StevenStark i changed my question. thank you – Sangram Badi Mar 08 '19 at 05:22

3Angular runs on browser not on server, and browser doesn't have access to system variables – Laxmikant Dange Mar 08 '19 at 05:24

The answer is no.
Environment variables are not exposed to JavaScript, they are used during build time only.
