Integrating the Service With Your App
Once you have subscribed to this service and located your credentials, you will need to configure your application to use the credentials for your service.
ElephantSQL Environment Variables
We recommend setting the following environment variables within your application runtime to connect the service to your app:
Variable Name |
Example Value |
ELEPHANTSQL_MAX_CONNS |
5 |
ELEPHANTSQL_URI |
postgres://pakejrde:[email protected]:5432/pakejrde |
Use the OpenShift client tools to set environment variables to make your credentials available within your application runtime:
$ rhc env set ELEPHANTSQL_MAX_CONNS=VALUE -a App_Name
$ rhc env set ELEPHANTSQL_URI=VALUE -a App_Name| Check out the general code examples to see how to use environment variables within your application. |
