为什么 my.env 变量在 Parcel 中不起作用？

Question

I'm trying to use env variables in Parcel parcel-bundler version 1.12.4 but it returns undefined. Here is my folder structure . As you can see the .env file is in the same folder as the package.json file.

This is the variable I'm using API_KEY=myapikey and I'm trying to console log it from my index.js file like this console.log(process.env.API_KEY) .

I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if need to open an issue. Thanks in advance!

Edit: I fixed it by deleting the .cache folder.

You have to install npm i dotenv package

Add the following command to index.js file:
require('dotenv').config()

this imports your credentials from.env package and now you can access and use it in your project.
