Normally you use OS and dotenv

then do

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os

load_dotenv()

pgdatabaseurl = os.getenv("DATABASE_URL")

For example ^

(This is obviously python)

The env is also in the root of the directory for simple code

while deploying my project variable that i set in railway is undefine why. (should i hard code my key or should i push my .env file only these tow way is working and this is not ideal thing to do)

Really, to keep it safe, i would recommend putting your key in a .env

May i ask what coding language you are using?

js

Oh. Brody disagrees, alright sure… :(((

I’ll just cry in a corner

in their original screenshot you can see the variable is highlighted in blue(?), that means they have not deployed the changes yet

AH!

Also if you get time do you mind helping with my issue afterwards?

how will its look when the variables is set

no blue(?) highlight

do you see a "Deploy changes" button in a floating popup in your screen?

Deploy *

i have been redeploying it again and again , and done all the troubleshooting but my project is not accessing the variable from railway. railway not injecting the variable.

The purple button at the top says deploy

ah purple

Also it crashed? So the code is incorrect? I know a tiny bit lel

every thing is working 😆 now

Amazing <:salute:1137099685417451530>

crashed because of db connection variable was not injecting.

Also just as a reference you can private your github repo, as railway deploys from privates

Ah

its privet .

i was learning how to set variable without pushing .env in my repo

Just make sure you dont have the variables in plaintext in the script if you are hardcoding it

Im using a .env, however we all do things differently

that is the point (i have set key only in railway variable and accessing it via process.env) its not hard coadded nor i have pushed my .env its safe(little bit) now

smooth, locally only I hope?

Y-y-yea-eah…

I d-d-def-initely do..

Not at all in production

What do you mean???

it was the button that i have not pushed (deploy) every thing was fine. i was redeploying it again and again. <:kekw:788259314607325204> 😆

Its all good! Now you have learnt <:poggers:720701334659268700>
took me some time as well

Variables stored in railway’s environment variable section, not in github
