07 - Environment Variables

Environment variables are kept in .env files.

There are three environments: development, test, and production. Each has its own environment file .env.development, .env.test, and .env.production, respectively. The .env.development file is used for local development, the .env.test for unit tests (in a CI environment), and the .env.production file is used for deploying RAD Lab UI.

If you have sensitive environment variables that you want to keep out of source control, place them in the .env.development.local, .env.test.local, and .env.production.local files. All .env*.local files are kept out of source control, but are merged in with their non-local variants when developing, testing, or deploying.
