## Introduction

The following environment variables configure the addresses of the databases, some credentials, some application behaviours and the localization preferences. 
If you are in a development environment, your can keep most of the default values, otherwise, in production, values must be configured carefully.

The settings in [config/application.yml](../config/application.yml.default) configure the environment variables when the application run in development mode.
If you run the application in production with docker, the settings are localized in [config/env](../docker/env.example).

## General settings


    POSTGRES_HOST

This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in [config/database.yml](../config/database.yml.default).

    POSTGRES_PASSWORD

Password for the PostgreSQL user, as specified in `database.yml`.
Please see [Setup the FabManager database in PostgreSQL](../README.md#setup-fabmanager-in-postgresql) for information on how to create a user and set his password.
This value is only used when deploying in production, otherwise this is configured in [config/database.yml](../config/database.yml.default).

Key and secret used to identify you Stripe account through the API.
Retrieve them from https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys.

For this purpose, you can use a stripe account in test mode, which will provide you test keys.

    STRIPE_CURRENCY

See https://support.stripe.com/questions/which-currencies-does-stripe-support for a list of available 3-letters ISO code.

**BEWARE**: stripe currency cannot be changed during the application life.
Changing the currency after the application has already run, may result in several bugs and prevent the users to pay through stripe.
So set this setting carefully before starting the application for the first time.

Each item in the list must be separated from the others by a space char.
You will probably want to check that this list match the `ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS` values above.

## Internationalization settings

    APP_LOCALE

Configure application's main localization and translation settings.

See `config/locales/app.*.yml` for a list of available locales. Default is **en**.

    RAILS_LOCALE

Configure Ruby on Rails localization settings (currency, dates, number formats ...).

Please, be aware that **the configured locale will imply the CURRENCY symbol used to generate invoices**.

_Eg.: configuring **es-ES** will set the currency symbol to **€** but **es-MX** will set **$** as currency symbol, so setting the `RAILS_LOCALE` to simple **es** (without country indication) will probably not do what you expect._

See [config/locales/rails.*.yml](../config/locales) for a list of available locales. Default is **en**.

If your locale is not present in that list or any locale doesn't have your exact expectations, please open a pull request to share your modifications with the community and obtain a rebuilt docker image.
You can find templates of these files at https://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n/tree/rails-4-x/rails/locale.

    MOMENT_LOCALE

Configure the moment.js library for l10n.

See [github.com/moment/momentlocale/*.js](https://github.com/moment/moment/tree/2.22.2/locale) for a list of available locales.
Default is **en** (even if it's not listed).

    SUMMERNOTE_LOCALE

Configure the javascript summernote editor for l10n.

See [github.com/summernote/summernote/lang/summernote-*.js](https://github.com/summernote/summernote/tree/v0.7.3/lang) for a list of available locales.
Default is **en-US** (even if it's not listed).

    ANGULAR_LOCALE

Configure the locale for angular-i18n.

Please, be aware that **the configured locale will imply the CURRENCY displayed to front-end users.**

_Eg.: configuring **fr-fr** will set the currency symbol to **€** but **fr-ca** will set **$** as currency symbol, so setting the `ANGULAR_LOCALE` to simple **fr** (without country indication) will probably not do what you expect._

See [code.angularjs.org/i18n/angular-locale_*.js](https://code.angularjs.org/1.6.10/i18n/) for a list of available locales. Default is **en**.

    MESSAGEFORMAT_LOCALE

Configure the messageformat.js library, used by angular-translate.

See [github.com/messageformat/messageformat/locale/*.js](https://github.com/messageformat/messageformat/tree/v0.1.8/locale) for a list of available locales.

    FULLCALENDAR_LOCALE

Configure the fullCalendar JS agenda library.

See [github.com/fullcalendar/fullcalendar/lang/*.js](https://github.com/fullcalendar/fullcalendar/tree/v2.3.1/lang) for a list of available locales. Default is **en-us**.

See [AngularUI documentation](https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#uibdateparser-s-format-codes) for a list available formats.

**BEWARE**: years format with less than 4 digits will result in problems because the system won't be able to distinct dates with the same less significant digits, eg. 50 could mean 1950 or 2050.

    EXCEL_DATE_FORMAT

See [Microsoft support](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/264372) for a list a available formats.
