js and i'm getting error with accessing data from .env file.

my file structure looks like this: enter image description here

in .utils folder i have file mail.js where i need to access port and other data from .env

mail.js

require("dotenv").config({ path: "../.env" });
    
const port = process.env.email_port;
const host = process.env.email_host;
const user = process.env.email_user;
const pass = process.env.email_pass;

console.log("port", port); //undefined

getting undefined here.

Note: path is correct to .env and variable names are also correct.

CodePudding user response：

Try to add require("dotenv").config() to the server app or to remove the { path: "../.env" } from the require-statement.
