Requesting the addition of a VERCEL_CUSTOM_URL environment variable or similar to simplify access to the deployment URL across different environments at runtime.
This would allow applications to access the correct deployment URL without needing to implement custom logic for different environments.
In my prototype Vercel project, it would look something like this across environments:
| Environment | Branch | VERCEL_CUSTOM_URL |
|---|---|---|
| Production | production |
app.foo.com |
| Staging | staging |
app.staging.foo.com |
| Preview | main |
app.main.foo.com |
| Preview | feature-branch |
app-git-feature-branch-foo-corp.vercel.app |
| Development | Any git branch | localhost:3000 |
This feature would enhance the usability of Vercel by allowing applications to easily access the correct deployment URL without needing to manage multiple environment variables or configurations.
