A type-safe, reusable environment configuration abstraction for Dagger modules.

# dagger-env

A type-safe, reusable environment configuration abstraction for Dagger modules with full Zod v4 validation and Infisical or 1Password integration.

## Features

- 🔒 **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript support with Zod v4 validation
- 🔄 **Reusable**: Create multiple environment configurations for different projects
- 🎯 **Consistent**: Standardized API across all Dagger modules
- 🛡️ **Validated**: Runtime validation of arguments, environment variables, and secrets
- 📦 **Modular**: Secret presets and derived environment variables
- 🔐 **Infisical & 1Password Integration**: Built-in command runner backed by `infisical export` or `op run`
- 🚀 **Easy to use**: Simple configuration-based setup

## Installation

```bash
npm install dagger-env zod
```

**Note:** The command runner functionality (`dagger-env/run`) requires either the Infisical CLI (`infisical`) or the 1Password CLI (`op`) to be installed and authenticated, depending on which provider you configure.

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { createDaggerEnv } from 'dagger-env'
import { z } from 'zod/v4'

// Define your environment configuration
const myDaggerEnv = createDaggerEnv({
  args: z.object({
    push: z.string().optional(),
    environment: z.enum(['dev', 'staging', 'prod']).optional()
  }),
  env: z.object({
    CI: z.string().optional(),
    NODE_ENV: z.string().optional()
  }),
  secrets: z.object({
    API_TOKEN: z.string(),
    DATABASE_URL: z.string(),
    REDIS_URL: z.string()
  }),
  secretPresets: {
    api: ['API_TOKEN', 'DATABASE_URL'],
    cache: ['REDIS_URL']
  },
  derivedEnvVars: {
    API_TOKEN: {
      API_BASE_URL: 'https://api.example.com',
      API_VERSION: 'v1'
    },
    DATABASE_URL: {
      DB_POOL_SIZE: '10'
    }
  }
})
```

```typescript
// Use in your Dagger module
import { Container, dag, func, object, Secret } from '@dagger.io/dagger'

@object()
export class MyModule {
  @func()
  async build(options: Secret): Promise<Container> {
    const opts = await myDaggerEnv.parseDaggerOptions(options)
    const { withEnv } = await myDaggerEnv.getWithEnv(options, ['api'], ['REDIS_URL'])

    return withEnv(dag.container().from('node:18')).withExec(['npm', 'run', 'build']).sync()
  }
}
```

## Command Runner (Infisical or 1Password Integration)

`dagger-env` provides a convenient command runner that fetches secrets from Infisical (via `infisical export`) or 1Password (via `op item get`) and passes them to `dagger call` via the `DAGGER_OPTIONS` environment variable. The provider is selected by the shape of the config you pass to `createDaggerCommandRunner()`:

```typescript
import { createDaggerEnv } from 'dagger-env'
import { createDaggerCommandRunner } from 'dagger-env/run'
import { z } from 'zod/v4'

// Create your DaggerEnv configuration
const myDaggerEnv = createDaggerEnv({
  args: z.object({
    environment: z.enum(['dev', 'staging', 'prod']).optional()
  }),
  env: z.object({
    CI: z.string().optional(),
    NODE_ENV: z.string().optional()
  }),
  secrets: z.object({
    API_TOKEN: z.string()
  }),
  secretPresets: {
    api: ['API_TOKEN']
  },
  derivedEnvVars: {}
})

// Create a command runner with Infisical - simply pass your DaggerEnv instance
const runDaggerCommand = createDaggerCommandRunner({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  env: 'prod',
  path: '/ci/my-repo',
  dockerCommands: ['build', 'deploy', 'test'],
  daggerEnv: myDaggerEnv
})

// Run a Dagger command
await runDaggerCommand('test', {
  args: { environment: 'dev' },
  env: { NODE_ENV: 'development' }
})
```

### 1Password Integration

To use 1Password instead of Infisical, pass `opVault`/`opItem`/`opSections` instead of `projectId`/`env`/`path`. Secrets are read from the specified sections of a 1Password item, and `dagger call` is wrapped in `op run --no-masking` so that `op://` references in the environment are resolved:

```typescript
const runDaggerCommand = createDaggerCommandRunner({
  opVault: 'your-vault-id',
  opItem: 'your-item-id',
  opSections: [
    {
      id: 'your-section-id',
      label: 'Shared'
    }
  ],
  dockerCommands: ['build', 'deploy', 'test'],
  daggerEnv: myDaggerEnv
})
```

### Advanced Configuration

```typescript
// Advanced configuration with pre-command setup
const runDaggerCommand = createDaggerCommandRunner({
  projectId: 'your-project-id',
  env: 'prod',
  path: '/ci/my-repo',
  dockerCommands: ['build', 'deploy', 'test'],
  beforeCommand: async () => {
    // Setup vendor files, modules, etc.
    console.log('Setting up environment...')
    // await setupDaggerVendorFiles()
  },
  daggerEnv: myDaggerEnv
})
```

## Configuration Examples

### Simple API Service

```typescript
const apiServiceEnv = createDaggerEnv({
  args: z.object({
    push: z.string().optional()
  }),
  env: z.object({
    CI: z.string().optional()
  }),
  secrets: z.object({
    API_TOKEN: z.string(),
    DATABASE_URL: z.string()
  }),
  secretPresets: {
    api: ['API_TOKEN', 'DATABASE_URL']
  } as const,
  derivedEnvVars: {
    API_TOKEN: {
      API_BASE_URL: 'https://api.example.com'
    }
  } as const
})
```

### Multi-Environment Setup

```typescript
const multiEnvDaggerEnv = createDaggerEnv({
  args: z.object({
    environment: z.enum(['dev', 'staging', 'prod']),
    push: z.string().optional()
  }),
  env: z.object({
    CI: z.string().optional()
  }),
  secrets: z.object({
    DEV_API_KEY: z.string(),
    STAGING_API_KEY: z.string(),
    PROD_API_KEY: z.string()
  }),
  secretPresets: {
    dev: ['DEV_API_KEY'],
    staging: ['STAGING_API_KEY'],
    prod: ['PROD_API_KEY']
  } as const,
  derivedEnvVars: {
    DEV_API_KEY: { API_URL: 'https://dev-api.example.com' },
    STAGING_API_KEY: { API_URL: 'https://staging-api.example.com' },
    PROD_API_KEY: { API_URL: 'https://api.example.com' }
  } as const
})
```

## Type Extraction

For advanced use cases where you need to extract TypeScript types:

```typescript
import { z } from 'zod/v4'

import type { DaggerOptionsFromConfig } from 'dagger-env'

// Extract the options type from your DaggerEnv configuration
type MyDaggerEnvConfig = typeof myDaggerEnv extends DaggerEnv<infer T> ? T : never
type MyOptions = DaggerOptionsFromConfig<MyDaggerEnvConfig>

// Access the schema if needed for validation or type extraction
const schema = myDaggerEnv.getOptionsSchema()
type SchemaOutput = z.output<typeof schema>
```

## Best Practices

1. **Use `as const`** for `secretPresets` and `derivedEnvVars` to ensure proper typing
2. **Group related secrets** into logical presets (e.g., `api`, `database`, `cache`)
3. **Validate early** by calling `parseDaggerOptions()` at the start of functions
4. **Reuse configurations** across multiple Dagger modules in the same project
5. **Document your schemas** with JSDoc comments for better developer experience
