This is a simple guide on how to use .env in a typescript project.

I am starting to learn typescript, so hopefully this will be useful to all newbie programmers using typescript out there

1. Install dotenv library.

npm install dotenv

1. Include inside the file that will make use of the environment variables.

import * as dotenv from "dotenv";

dotenv.config();

1. Call the variables in files, like so.

export const configDev = {
  developerName: process.env.developerName,
};
