connect to storage drivers (a.k.a redis) through environment variables

Ask your question

I'm running into an issue where i seem to be unable to provide environment variables for connecting to redis. We run a multi environment setup where each environment has their own connection string for redis. i've tried things like:

    session: {
      expiryInSeconds: 60 * 60, // 3600
      rolling: true, // reset expiryInSeconds when client is active
      storageOptions: {
        driver: "redis",
        options: {
          url: `${process.env.NUXT_APP_CACHE_HOST}:${process.env.NUXT_APP_CACHE_PORT}`,
          ttl: 60 * 60,
        },
      },
    },

as well as

    session: {
      expiryInSeconds: 60 * 60, // 3600
      rolling: true, // reset expiryInSeconds when client is active
      storageOptions: {
        driver: "redis",
        options: {
          url: () => `${process.env.NUXT_APP_CACHE_HOST}:${process.env.NUXT_APP_CACHE_PORT}`,
          ttl: 60 * 60,
        },
      },
    },

as well as

 storageOptions: {
        driver: "redis",
        options: {
          url: () => `${process.env["NUXT_APP_CACHE_HOST"]}:${process.env["NUXT_APP_CACHE_PORT"]}`,
          ttl: 60 * 60,
        },
      },

All seem to be compiled during build time. Is there a way to configure this connection to redis through the runtimeConfig of nuxt?

If you give me some pointers i would also be happy to contribute with an MR.

Thanks in advance.
