How to Use Environment Files (.env) in Node.js - Tutorial (dotenv)

[@davidlafontant2185]

Great video! For those working with ES6 and who could face some trouble, you could use this : `import dotenv from 'dotenv'; dotenv.config();` instead of require().

[@bhaskargowda-3955]

Thanks a ton manhh

[@cm3462]

another way : import { config } from 'dotenv' config()

[@carolinaaa-d4h]

Thanks 😁

[@fadlikurniawan4478]

[@qwerty3000]

another way: import 'dotenv/config'; :))

2:27 is when the vid starts

[@AMG-cc7pi]

thanks for the video , just on point. Before watching this video I had to read multiple useless blogs that were long and still were not clear enough and incomplete.

[@edutech8909]

Quick and straight to the point! thanks man. You just got a new subscriber!

[@GuilhermeSiebert]

Thanks man. You quickly solved what 5 other videos didn't!

[@AlphaSynapse]

exactly 😂

[@peanutcelery]

If your .env is named different like .env.local then you pass the options in config: config({path: "./.env.local"})

[@vasilymedvedev3077]

great video and very consistent explanation, thank you, bro!

[@deshangunatunga4175]

Great video, short and to the point. Thank you

[@DAULISG]

I really appreciate these vids too, "short and to the point"

[@anounTT]

FYI: The .env file has to be where you start the application. I had index in /src/index.js, and env '/' and my start script was 'cd src && nodex index.js' and it did not detect my env variables. In the video you said in the root, but not all applications start from the root.

[@adaninz4340]

I had the same probleme but I put the .env file in src and requiere dotenv module like this: require(“dotenv”).config({path:”src/.env”});

[@aseo9524]

Was having the same issue, your comment helped me. Thanks!

[@danielfan9196]

Why do I need the dotenv dependency though? Can't I just add properties to the process.env in a seperate file and import them to the other sheets ?

[@falcongold2024]

if you're ever having issues with .env. for example if it is saying something like needs to be a string...make sure your .env file is in the root of your project

[@dph6539]

I have a problem and also a question. what if I want to use multiple databases in dotenv?

[@harshilpatel3389]

[@dcode-software]

The theme I'm using is called "dcode" and I made it for my KZbin videos. You can find it on VS Code marketplace

[@shayanvaliyari8232]

It could be better if u separated the introduction to .env and the usage guide into two even shorter videos just so people get faster answers from your channel
