The idea behind the example
This example shows how to inline env vars.
Please note:
- It is a bad practice to commit env vars to a repository. Thats why you should normally gitignore your
.env
file.
- In this example, as soon as you reference an env var in your code, it will automatically be made publicly available and exposed to the client.
- If you want to have more centralized control of what is exposed to the client check out the example with-universal-configuration-build-time.
- Env vars are set (inlined) at build time. If you need to configure your app at runtime, check out examples/with-universal-configuration-runtime.
