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"]
  ]
}
  • for typescript, set moduleName to react-native-dotenv, clear cache
  • jest --no-cache
  • 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?
  • --env-file=.env
  • react-native clean
  • only use APP_ENV, but don't use APP_ENV for production nor development in the run-platform commands. just use debug/release in run-platform.
  • 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
  • api.cache(false) resets babel cache and --reset-cache resets all caches. the latter is slower, but doesn't fully clear the caches so reset-cache is needed
  • APP_ENV=custom works for run-android, you must run npm start between each time you run npm run-android
  • for npm run android, you need to do --tasks clean,installRelease
  • APP_ENV=production works in start command
module.exports = function(api) {
api.cache(false)
}
