I think what you could also do for bigger projects is assert env variables at the root of your application with any validator (like zod). And even parse some of variables like numbers, enums or any other type if you want to. After that you could extend process.env types in .d.ts file with respective types and be safe whenever you use them.

You always have such great content on your channel. Thank you.

Does this create any security risks?

[@webapple1]

am i the only one thinking , why? envs will always be a string esp a api key? feels like adding a layer for no reason to validate something that will always be x and not y.

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

Unless you forget to add them and then they are undefined. This can easily happen when you deploy.

[@georgesword2012]

Nice 👍

[@randomdeathafterplannedbir3386]

[@js-dev8682]

[@acemav]

Yum..keys will be shared worldwide

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

As always if put in a frontend component. I would advise using server components.

[@monq02]

now we need .tenv a type safe .env 😂

[@artyomtaranenko2267]

I think we can use zod

[@DaveGrayTeachesCode]

You can. It's ok to have more than one option.
