EJS VS dotenv

Templating language - ejs

Its Github repository is https://github.com/mde/ejs and it Complies with the Express view system but along with pros there are some cons of EJS like it is very difficult to read its code, especially for designers and HTML people who don't focus on Backend languages and one more con is that it has no support for block by default.

With our Yugabyte database setup, let’s install the dependencies for our application. Install typeorm,pg, and ejs with the command below:

We need a frontend client to interact with authorization server. For this purpose we are going to use koa and EJS in combination. EJS is a template engine. It gives us the ability to write HTML files with more flexibility.

You can use striate, a superset of ejs, to control which code gets generated within the files. The answers given to the prompts in yogini.json are available as variables within the scope of your template files.

We will put our Emailjs environment variables in a dotenv (.env) file. To read more about the purpose of this file click here.

Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent it from being committed. Here's an example file with it already added. You may also use dotenv for advanced configuration and it will automatically load environment variables from a .env file into process.env.

dotenv: Designed to load environment variables from a .env file into the process.env environment

Like Doppler, Infisical uses environment variable injection. Similar to the Dotenv package for Node, when used in Node, it injects them at run time into the process object of the running app so they're not readable by any other processes or users. They can still be revealed by a crash dump or logging, so that is a caveat to consider in your code and build scripts.

We'll be working with databases' ids and different info that should be secured so I would advise you to create a .env file to store said info. We'll do this by installing dotenv into our project and use it accordingly:

dotenv - For reading our API keys from the environment

As an avid dotenv user I wanted to thank their maintainers for keeping the project alive for 10 years (wow). A perfect exemplary of dedication to Open Source.

Sensitive data like database URLs, API keys, and passwords should never be hardcoded in your application code. Instead, use environment variables accessed at runtime to keep this information secret. Popular dotenv libraries like dotenv make this easy for Node.js apps.
