sveltekit api process.env.VARIABLE_NAME undefined-CodePudding

I'm not sure if this is a race condition, but I am unable to access specific environment variables

I have an API endpoint setup in svelte

import dotenv from 'dotenv';
dotenv.config();
console.log(process.env)
console.log(process.env.NODE)

Result is

{
  NVM_INC: '/Users/simon/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.1/include/node',
  TERM_PROGRAM: 'vscode',
  NODE: '/Users/simon/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.1/bin/node',
  INIT_CWD: '/Users/simon/development/svelte/sveltekit-oidc',
  NVM_CD_FLAGS: '-q',
  TERM: 'xterm-256color',
  ...
}
undefined

On further testing the following works OK

console.log(process.env['NODE'])
/Users/simon/.nvm/versions/node/v16.13.1/bin/node

Not sure why this is and it worries me that if this is a race condition, it may work in development and at some point give me errors in production.

CodePudding user response：

For sveltekit you need to prefix the variables in the .env file with for example, VITE_MYSECRET=123 and use/import them using import.meta.env.VITE_MYSECRET.
