I'm trying to get access to my .env file via dotenv module, but I'm getting the below error
dotenv.config();
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'config' of undefined
I have dotenv installed in node_modules and package.json, my .env file is in the root folder, and I think everything is written correctly, but it doesn't work for some reason. I have tried reinstalling the module, didn't help
try the following :
require('dotenv').config({path: __dirname + '/.env'})
In Typescript
import * as dotenv from 'dotenv'
dotenv.config({path: __dirname + '/.env'})
Another way to fix this is to enable esModuleInterop in Typescript compiler options.
Open tsconfig.json and add this line:
"esModuleInterop": true,
so you can import it like this:
import hello from 'hello-world';
try this:
const path = require('path')
require('dotenv').config({ path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../.env') })
