What are environment file variables and how do I use them?
Environment file variables are key-value pairs used to configure applications. They help manage settings without hardcoding them.
Can you give me an example of how to set them up in a .env file?
Sure! In a .env file, you can define variables like this:
DATABASE_URL=your_database_url
API_KEY=your_api_key
Then, you can access these variables in your application.
How do I access these variables in a Node.js application?
You can use the dotenv
package. First, install it with npm install dotenv
, then add require('dotenv').config();
at the top of your main file.
Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?
Yes, never commit your .env file to version control. Use a .gitignore file to exclude it and keep sensitive information safe.
