this is my first mern stack project ever and i'm trying to push it to github. i am using mongoose so i had to hide the login and pwd of my account i looked it up and found the .env solution. I created a dot env file

#.env file
Port=5000
CONNECTION_URL=mongodb+srv://+++++++++@cluster0.p5v9c.mongodb.net/++++++?retryWrites=true&w=majority

i ran npm i dot env

then i added import statement: import dotenv from 'dotenv';

and the problem seems to occur here, i tried: dotenv.config();, require('dotenv').config();, require ('dotenv/config');.

the code to of my index js if it helps to solve the solution :

const PORT = process.env.PORT|| 5000;

mongoose.connect(CONNECTION_URL, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true })
    .then(() => app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server Running on Port: http://localhost:${PORT}`)))
    .catch((error) => console.log(`${error} did not connect`));
    
mongoose.set('useFindAndModify', false);

can anyone help me solve this up i would really appreciate it thank you ^^
