I’m fairly new to javascript and wanted to hide my API key. Can’t seem to get dotenv to work. I’ve followed the steps on the dotemv documentation but no luck. First i ran “npm install dotenv –save” which added the following files/folders into my project
- Node_modules folder
- package-lock.json
- package.json
app.js
import "dotenv/config";
import express from "express";
require("dotenv").config();
console.log(process.env.API_KEY);
const API = API_KEY;
.env
API_KEY = "123"
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier “dotenv/config”. Relative references must start with either “/”, “./”, or “../”.
I tried adding the “/” and “./” but the same error. it’s in the same location.
