Hello everyone,
I am a huge fan of the work done by Finsweet, especially the technical series offered by Alex, which inspire me to level up in development ![]()

For some time now, I’ve been using the developer-starter template on GitHub. Everything is perfect for 99% of my projects and needs (often GSAP, Swiper, and other libraries setup).
However, I’m currently working on a project with more sensitive datas: endpoints and API keys.
For cleanliness and security reasons, I would like to hide these datas.
After some search, the most viable solution seems to be dotenv and an environment that contains all the variables.
I saw that the gitignore was even already set up to include the .env
I tried to set it up (pnpm i dotenv) however, I can’t seem to get it to work on my side : path, os, crypto missing, require() issues… (or maybe some other… I’m not formally trained as a developer
).
My question is simple:
- has anyone managed to get dotenv to work with developer-starter?
If so, is it possible to get a quick process guide?
If not, what are the alternatives to explore for hiding my sensitive data?
Thanks in advance for your feedback ![]()
