I'm encountering an issue with the dotenv package.
Here's the structure of my application folder:
|_app_folder
|_app.js
|_password.env
|_package.json
Even though I have installed dotenv, the process.env variables are always undefined when I attempt to log them. Can someone assist me with this problem?
Content of password.env:
//password.env
CLIENT_ID=xxxxxxxx
Content of app.js:
//app.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const Twig = require("twig");
//Require dotenv
require('dotenv').config();
// Setting the Twig options
app.set("twig options", {
allow_async: true,
strict_variables: false
});
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
//Trying to log it
console.log(process.env.CLIENT_ID);
//
res.render('index.twig', {
date : new Date().toString()
});
});
app.get('/instagram',function(req,res){
// Building the URL
let url = 'https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=';
// Redirect to instagram for oauth
res.redirect(url);
})
app.listen(3000, function () {
console.log('Running');
})
Thank you in advance for your help.
