What is the difference between dotenv and env?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about dotenv and env usage in applications.
What is the difference between dotenv and env?
The main difference is that dotenv is a module that loads environment variables from a .env file into process.env, while env is a general term for environment variables that can be set in various ways.
Can you give me an example of how to use dotenv?
Sure! First, install dotenv using npm: npm install dotenv. Then, create a .env file with your variables, like DB_HOST=localhost. In your code, require dotenv and call config(): require('dotenv').config();.
Is it safe to store sensitive information in a .env file?
It's generally safe as long as you don't commit the .env file to version control. Use .gitignore to exclude it.
What are some alternatives to dotenv?
Alternatives include using environment variables directly in your hosting service, or using configuration management tools like AWS Parameter Store or HashiCorp Vault.
