| 12 | +It's common to want to configure components depending on the environment in which they are run. `dg` and components make it easy to configure this behavior. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Setting up a components project with dbt |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +We start with an empty Dagster components project. Let's begin by pulling down a sample dbt project from GitHub: |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +<CodeExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/1-jaffle-clone.txt" language="bash" /> |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Next, we'll install the `dagster-components[dbt]` package: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +<CliInvocationExample contents="uv add 'dagster-components[dbt]' dbt-duckdb" /> |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +To confirm that the `dagster_components.dbt_project` component type is now available, run `dg list component-type`: |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/2-dg-list-component-types.txt" /> |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +Next, we'll scaffold a new dbt component to represent the dbt project as assets: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/3-dg-scaffold-jdbt.txt" /> |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +We can use `dg check yaml` to validate that the component is configured correctly: |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/4-dg-component-check.txt" /> |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +We can then generate the manifest, and take a look at the assets we've configured: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/5-dbt-parse.txt" /> |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/6-dg-list-defs.txt" /> |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Configuring the component to use environment variables |
| 44 | +We'd like our asset keys to reflect the database and schema in which the tables are materialized. We can configure our `component.yaml` to do this, relying on environment variables to vary the schema based on our environment: |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +<CodeExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/7-project-jdbt.yaml" language="yaml" /> |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +If we run `dg check yaml`, we see that we need to encode our environment dependency in the component file: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/8-dg-component-check.txt" /> |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +If we pass the `--fix-env-requirements` flag to `dg check yaml`, the component file will automatically be updated to include the environment variable: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/9-dg-component-check.txt" /> |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +Now, we get an error that the environment variable is not set. We'll add it to our `.env` file: |
| 57 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/10-inject-env.txt" /> |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Let's run `dg check yaml` once more, and we see that the component file is now valid: |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/11-dg-component-check-fixed.txt" /> |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +We can employ `dg env list` to see that our env var has been configured, and is being used by our dbt component: |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/12-dg-env-list.txt" /> |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +And we can see that the assets have been configured to use the proper schema: |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/13-dg-list-defs.txt" /> |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +## Using environment variables with Dagster Plus |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +We can use environment variables to configure secrets for Dagster Plus. Let's say we want to now deploy our dbt project to our production environment. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +First, we'll authenticate with Dagster Plus: |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +<CliInvocationExample contents="dg plus login" /> |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +If we run `dg env list`, we now see additional columns showing whether the environment variable is set for each location: |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/14-dg-env-list.txt" /> |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +We can use `dg plus env add` to configure the environment variable in Dagster Plus. First, we can push up our local environment variable to the `dev` scope, so that |
| 84 | +other developers can use it in their local environments: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/15-dg-plus-env-add.txt" /> |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +If we run `dg env list` again, we see that the environment variable is now set for the `dev` scope: |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/16-dg-env-list.txt" /> |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Finally, we can push up the environment variable to the `full` and `branch` scopes: |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/17-dg-plus-env-add.txt" /> |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +If we run `dg env list` again, we see that the environment variable is now set for all scopes: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +<CliInvocationExample path="docs_snippets/docs_snippets/guides/dg/using-env/18-dg-env-list.txt" /> |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +We can go ahead and deploy our project to production: |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +<CliInvocationExample contents="dg deploy" /> |
