How do I use dotenv in my Node.js application?
To use dotenv, first install it using npm: npm install dotenv
. Then, create a .env
file for your environment variables.
What should I include in the .env file?
You can include key-value pairs like DB_HOST=localhost
or API_KEY=your_api_key
. Just make sure to keep it private.
How do I access these variables in my code?
You can access them using process.env.VARIABLE_NAME
. For example, const dbHost = process.env.DB_HOST;
.
Is there anything else I should know about using dotenv?
