How to use

Using create-next-app

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npm init next-app --example with-dotenv with-dotenv-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-dotenv with-dotenv-app

Download manually

Download the example:

curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-dotenv
cd with-dotenv

Install it and run:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn
yarn dev

Deploy it to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Note

  • It is a bad practice to commit env vars to a repository. Thats why you should normally gitignore your .env file.
  • In this example, as soon as you reference an env var in your code, it will automatically be made publicly available and exposed to the client.
  • If you want to have more centralized control of what is exposed to the client check out the example with-universal-configuration-build-time.
  • Env vars are set (inlined) at build time. If you need to configure your app at runtime, check out examples/with-universal-configuration-runtime.
