[best] — .env.development
In a Node.js project using Express.js and dotenv, you can load the environment variables from .env.development like this:
How you access environment variables depends heavily on where your code executes. Backend Environments (Node.js)
If you have ever cloned a repository, run npm install , and then spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why the API calls are failing, you have felt the pain of missing or misconfigured environment files. This article is your complete guide to understanding, implementing, and mastering .env.development .
A .env.development file is a plain text file containing key-value pairs representing environment variables used exclusively during local development.
A .env.development file is a plain text configuration file used to store environment-specific variables that apply when an application is running in its development mode.
For vanilla Node.js applications, the dotenv-flow package extends the standard dotenv to support NODE_ENV -specific files like .env.development and .env.production .
npm install dotenv-flow --save
app.listen(process.env.PORT, () => console.log(`Server listening on port $process.env.PORT`); );
In all frameworks, when the same variable is defined in multiple places.
