在.env文件中读取导出的变量nodejs

Question

Im trying to get Environment Variables from a.env file. They are saved as:

export KEY=VALUE 

Reading it with dotenv returns undefined because of the 'export'

I can't modify the.env

is there a way to fix this issue without duplicating the.env file and saving it without the 'export'

Answer 1

dont save it as export KEY=VALUE just KEY=VALUE and then export it like this require('dotenv/config') you will be able to retrieve the env variable using this

 process.env.KEY
