I assume you have a Node.js project set up to use ES modules, and you want to use a .env
file to store a secret, like this:
PASSWORD=secret
And you want to have it available in your Node.js script.
Hereโs how to do it.
Install the dotenv
package:
npm i dotenv
Then use this code:
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv'
dotenv.config()
console.log(process.env.PASSWORD)
This assumes you use ES modules (if not, itโs as easy as adding "type": "module",
in your package.json
)
I wrote an entire book on this topic ๐
