Welcome to the react-native-dotenv wiki!

Docs TODOs

  • make sure to add metro (I dont remember why)
module.exports = {
  "presets": ["module:metro-react-native-babel-preset"],
  "plugins": [
    ["module:react-native-dotenv"]
  ]
}
  • add windows instructions for APP_ENV=
  • is there a way to automatically install as babel plugin not preset?
  • is there a way to automatically install as devDependency not regular dependency?
  • You can specify a file using --env-file=.env but be careful
  • this won't work when you do react-native run-android or react-native run-ios, but it's okay because you just need to run the command once to do the initial build. After that point, you should be able to build changes using react-native start where this will work

Add react native web stuff https://github.com/goatandsheep/react-native-dotenv/issues/533
