reactjs - How to add environment variables within the meta tags inside public/index.html in creat-react-app?

Question

%ENV_VARIABLES%

I tried this and restarted create-react-app with npm start, its not working for me, any help would be appreciated. Thank You

Answer 1

instead of putting it inside index.html, do the following and the variables will be available inside your app (auto added to meta).

create a .env file

var=var_value

then install dotenv

npm install dotenv

put the following at the top of the file where you want to use env variable

require('dotenv').config()

You can access it like the following

process.env.var
