Such an excellent way to explain things. The tutorial is a whole environment variable package! Kudos!🎉

At 8:06 are the "release modes" just another way of saying "Flutter Flavors"? If so, would you call these release modes "inline flavors"? I.e. the flavor is handled in a single file conditional rather than in main_development.dart and main_production.dart, etc. I'm trying to determine if I even need to use flutter_dotenv if I instead use flutter_flavor. Would you recommend using one instead of the other? Or can both be used together complimentary?

Hey Aaron! In this circumstance, this would be separate from flavors. The release/profile/debug modes can be thought of as production/development build(s) that would have specific configurations. Flavors can be thought of as specific configurations of an app, so you’d want to take advantage of environment variables here too. That specific flavor can be in release/profile/debug mode depending on whether you’re building the application for production or local development. Hope that helps!

Hi Paul, Is there any way to load API_KEYS from the .env file to the AndroidManifest.xml file? Can you guide me to store my GMap_API_KEY safely and retrieve it?

HI, thank you for this video. If you don't add these to source control, how would you set them during the build time?

Thanks for this video. Short but covers everything from basics to advanced usage gradually. What's that theme you're using btw? Looks nice.

Thanks. local PC works well. But when I run in GIT Actions, "Error detected in pubspec.yaml: No file or variants found for asset: .env."

I would love to see this addressed. The whole thing can't really be used if the app won't build in the actual production environment.

I have not implemented multiple environments but I have implemented flutter_dotenv and I've created a couple of variables including an API key. My .env file is on the .gitignore list. I'm trying to deploy via Netlify, and the build is failing because there is no .env file found. I plan to follow the guide in this video but I don't think it will help with this issue, will it? How can I implement environment variables in a Flutter app that work with Netlify or similar hosting services?

Greate! Thanks, but one question. For the flutter web, what's up?

@juanmacias5922 Жыл бұрын

in my experience flutter web doesn't like the file to be named '.env' you need to call it 'dotenv' or something similar.

Wouldn't including all env files in the assets leak the dev environment in production? someone disaabmeling the files can get potentially exposure to all your environments ?
