You can't have runtime configuration on the frontend because the frontend is running on the client (browser). The best you can get is build-time configuration that embeds in the SPA.

Here's an example where it can be done in Angular: https://www.jvandemo.com/how-to-use-environment-variables-to....

Not exactly the same as shell environment variables, of course. And you may disagree about exposing the `enableDebug` flag as a runtime config there.

Still it is doable, in a sort of roundabout way, using the browser as the environment.

Ah, indeed. If you count "open dev shell, manually edit globally exposed variables so that it will affect only my browser" then yes, you can have that as runtime configuration.

Yeah funny
