Introduction

All parts of the system are using environment variables. Environment specific configuration is parsed to process.env variables. All applications are using dotenv and dotenv-expand to set environment variables.

Each application / package loads .env file in respective directory. There is an example file (.env-template) in each relevant directory, which can be used as template.

Setting Up Your Environment

You have two options for creating your .env file:

Option 1: Manual Clone

Copy the .env-template file in respective folder and modify the .env file as needed.

cp .env-template .env

Option 2: CLI Generation

For a more streamlined approach, you can use our CLI tool to generate .env files (each in api, admin and survey folder)

pnpm cli generate-env

For detailed instructions on using the CLI, please refer to our .env generation guideline. Choose the method that best suits your workflow and project needs.
