I have a medusa 2.0 plugin where I have an Admin UI page with Widget. On widget I want to access some envs from host app at runtime.
I tried to use this:
const appId = import.meta.env.VITE_CHAT_APP_ID;
const authKey = import.meta.env.VITE_CHAT_AUTH_KEY;
But obviously it's empty because when build and push plugin I do not pass any envs so the Vite replaces this envs with void 0 during build
Any working way to reads host app envs in plugin's widget at runtime?

So you need to provide them during build. If those are secrets you don't want to expose to user, I think you will have to implement some kind of authentication from backend.

I made a bug report for this a while ago and seeing your post made me think about it again. Found a decent workaround, see https://github.com/medusajs/medusa/issues/11815#issuecomment-2869773031

@ripe mantle that is the thing - It does not work when you want to read envs in plugin in UI widget
