When I use .env in vue projects I can choose which .env I want to use when I build the app. How I can do the same using nuxt dotenv-module?

What I already tried:
create a new scripts passing NODEENV without success "scripts": { "staging": "NODEENV=staging nuxt build",
}

What I should do to use multiple .env files for each environment?

Hello. I want to use global environment variables in my .env file like that:
APIURL=${APIURL}

The variable declaration is higher (in docker-compose.yml).

The value must be an url. But in process.env on the client side I see not parsed string:
console.log(process.env.APIURL) // ${APIURL}

How can I set values in .env correctly? Thank you for your help.

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently, if the only option is specified with an empty array, default logic is used and all values are placed into context.env and thus provided to the client.

I think that an empty array should signal that I do not want anything copied into context.env. If I do not specify an only option/array at all, I would expect the default behavior to apply and all values would be placed into context.env.

As a workaround, I specify a name in the array that doesn't correspond to any key:

['@nuxtjs/dotenv', { only: ['nothing'] }],

Related, I agree with this comment on #7 that there should be a warning that all values are available on the client unless only is used.

What does the proposed changes look like?

This configuration

['@nuxtjs/dotenv', { only: [] }],

results in nothing in .env going into context.env.

Version

1.3.0

Reproduction link

http://no.link

Steps to reproduce

1. yarn add @nuxtjs/dotenv
2. edit nuxt.config.js (modules property): https://pastebin.com/13Btdxyt
3. add some var to .env like this: SOMEKEY=SOMEKEYVALUE
4. try to output value of process.env: https://pastebin.com/K4HAAuJq

What is expected ?

output of .env file vars array

What is actually happening?

empty object "{}"

nuxt version "nuxt": "^2.0.0",

Version

1.3.0

Reproduction link

https://github.com/beardedpayton/paytonburdette.com-v2

Steps to reproduce

Install module

npm i nuxtjs/dotenv

** cant include the @ symbol here, it thinks I'm trying to tag a user in the issue

Require module in nuxt.config.js

require('dotenv').config()

Add module to modules array in nuxt.config.js

modules: ["@nuxtjs/dotenv"]

Use "module in codebase with process.env.ENVVARNAME

What is expected ?

Works as expected locally. I can read from my .env file fine.

When deploying to Netlify and using build environment variables, I should be able to read from those variables within my project.

What is actually happening?

I cannot read variables from my build environment variables established with Netlify. I can only read from them if a .env file is present.

Hi,

I tried to use nuxt-dotenv with fileaname custom options like that:

modules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/dotenv', {
      filename: '.env.dev',
  }],
  ],

It's working fine in my app but not in my nuxt-config.js
I import dotenv at the top:

require('dotenv').config()

Before that I had to add the dotenv dependency to my package.json.
But the custom .env file wasn't read. Only .env is working.

I have .env file in my root Nuxt.js project but the variables are not read into process.env. ž

I have added the module following the instruction here https://github.com/nuxt-community/dotenv-module. Module looks to be loaded properly but process.env is empty object.

Any idea why?

I saw the comment here: https://github.com/nuxt-community/dotenv-module/issues/13#issuecomment-375957024

When the env file is not present in my dist folder, my env variables are not working. Everything works as expected locally.

Hello @JulienTant,
This is release in code since months (https://github.com/nuxt-community/dotenv-module/commit/3e2696341dcde954f510c48e669bd207794393d2)

but not on npm… (dist folder is not up to date) "version": "1.1.1"

{
  modules: [
    ['@nuxtjs/dotenv', { filename: '.env.prod' }],
  ]
}

Could you please update repositories.

Regards

Hello,

I can't figure out how to get this to work with PM2.
I would like to use .env file not ecosystem.

I have tried this => require('dotenv').config({ path: path.join(__dirname, '../.env') })
But i think this does not work because pm2 start nuxt from ./node_modules/nuxt/bin/nuxt-start

I want to set API_URL for my axios.

I have a /plugins/AutoForceService.js as follows:

export default ({ app }, inject) => {
  let autoForceService = new AutoForceService({
    axios: app.$axios,
    group: process.env.GROUP,
    apiKey: process.env.AUTODROMO_API_KEY,
    baseURL: process.env.API_BASE_URL,
  });
  Vue.use(autoForceService);

  app.autoForceService = autoForceService;
};

If I do deploy this app to Heroku with a .env file everything works fine, but I don't want to keep that file on my git tree. Heroku supports process.env variables, but when using this service they are being resolved as undefined. Axios requests that are not in this service scope works fine, even using the same variables. Axios plugin is initialized like this:

export default function ({$axios}) {
  $axios.onRequest((config) => {
    config.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Token token=${process.env.AUTODROMO_API_KEY}`;
    config.headers.common['Content-Type'] = 'application/json';
    config.baseURL = `${process.env.API_BASE_URL}`;
  })
}

Is there a workaround?

Hi! Could you tell how to use different env files (.env.dev, .env.prod etc.) for different environments? How can I configure filename in nuxt.config module depending on deployment command?

Hi,

The dotenv-module won't overload the environment variables of the process running your build.

If you need to use variables from your .env file at this moment (and it looks like you do), just append require('dotenv').config() to your nuxt.config.js :

require('dotenv').config()

module.exports = {
    // your usual nuxt config.
}

This will works thanks to the dotenv library provided by this module as a dependency. If you decided to ignore some values from your .env file in the module configuration, this won't apply here.

Hope this help, i will update the README file with this, it can be useful !

Its because @nuxtjs/dotenv can't use system's variables when .env file is not found #12.

You can deploy .env file too. It's a bad practice, but works.

I'm not sure how I can help you ?

That module is using this package to load variables from .env file : https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv. You should probably get help there !

Please reopen if I have misunderstood your problem

i have try :
privatekey="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS….." or privatekey:-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS…
or
private_key:'-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAS….'

but result is Certificate object must contain a string "private_key" property.

Hello!

I've been unable to deploy to Netlify when using the plugin.

• "@nuxtjs/dotenv": "^1.1.0"
• "nuxt": "^1.0.0"

modules: [
        ['@nuxtjs/dotenv']
]

Netlfiy Error log when using the module
Netfliy log for successful deployment

I've tried a whole bunch of different configurations inside nuxt.config.js but could'nt get anything to work. I don't get the issue when I generate the static site locally just when using Netlify. I have spoke to their support and they can't see the issue. I am wondering if its to do with the NPM WARN about missing optional dependencies? Let me know if you need anymore info!
