Why use .env files? While building our web app, we might need to store sensitive information such as API keys, database passwords, and other variables that are required for the application to run. Now we wouldn't want such information to be hard-code...

It does work for development, but not on deployment. Tried both on Vercel and Netlify.

When you're deploying your application make sure you have specified all the environment variables in the deployment configuration.

Thanks, man I have been struggling with this for a long time. After ChatGPT, I just forgot that you could find solutions in such beautiful articles.

I appreciate it. It's really frustrating when chatgpt keeps hallucinating.

Thanks for this infomation , it is really helpful but i have a question

in the situation where you omit the VITE when importing your variables , will your program still works fine or it will break

The program won't show any errors but the variable will not get displayed if you don't import it with the exact same name that you gave while defining it. So yes, it won't work if you don't prefix it with VITE
