Environment Variables

Add environment variables through the dashboard:

1. Go to Site Settings > Environment Variables
2. Click "Add Variable"
3. Enter a name (e.g., API_KEY)
4. Enter the value
5. Choose the environment (Production, Preview, or Both)
6. Click "Save"

Changes take effect on the next deployment.

Your environment variables are:

• Encrypted at rest: Using AES-256 encryption
• Never logged: Values are redacted in build logs
• Access controlled: Only team members can view/edit
• Not in client bundles: Server-side only by default

Different frameworks have different conventions for client-side variables:

Access environment variables in your code:

// Node.js / Server-side
const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;

// Next.js (client-side)
const publicKey = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_KEY;

// Vite (client-side)
const key = import.meta.env.VITE_API_KEY;

Import multiple variables from a .env file:

1. Go to Site Settings > Environment Variables
2. Click "Import .env"
3. Paste your .env file contents or upload the file
4. Review the variables
5. Click "Import"
