Allow for changing webservice url during runtime?

• now added as a buildtime variable
• how to change so that https://dev.meigarage.edirom.de/ uses the webservice at https://dev.meigarage.edirom.de/ege-webservice?

Sounds like a plan :)
I found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53010064/pass-environment-variable-into-a-vue-app-at-runtime which lists at least two options; the more hacky one (replacing strings in the js files with an entrypoint script) I've also seen (done) at https://github.com/TEIC/romajs/blob/dev/docker-entrypoint.sh

I thought some more about this, and I think what would be the easiest is to set the webservice_url variable to dev.meigarage.edirom.de when the action is running on the dev branch and not the main, see https://github.com/Edirom/vife-meigarage-webclient/tree/feature/set-webservice-url

• we don't need to change the variable during runtime this way, only during build

[peterstadler]

Yes, that will work for us – but still the build artifact ist tied to the deployment, hence it won't work for others (e.g. to be deployed at meigarage.example.com).

Yes, good point! We should still have this option
