Setting a connection string

There are two ways to give Cosmology a connection.

Environment Variable (recommended)

The environment variable that cosmology uses is called COSMOLOGY_COSMOS_ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_STRING.

You can set this in MacOs with the following command.

export COSMOLOGY_COSMOS_ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_STRING="my-connection-string"

You can un-set this using

unset COSMOLOGY_COSMOS_ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_STRING

Using the configuration file

If no environment variable can be found then the tool will look in a file named appsettings.json for the connection string. This is stored next to the .dll for the tools.
