  • dotenv

    Loads environment variables from .env for nodejs projects.

  • The dotenv docs say "As early as possible in your application, require and configure dotenv." You basically just need it before you start utilizing the variables that your app needs. Since those tend to be important configuration settings, most of the time it will get imported in the "top" of your application, which often starts from a file named something like index.js (but this is an arbitrary convention).

  • SurveyJS
