How do you get the prompts?
I’ve installed and unistalled and re-installed @quasar/dotenv, but I do not get the prompts to set the env files. I’ve added dev.env and prod.env files manually and put my firebase config in them. However, I get a build error that App Extension “@quasar/dotenv” has missing index script…
Is this script created via the prompts? Where would this script be found?
When I run “add” it just lists the extension and shows an empty prompts object:
$quasar ext add @quasar/dotenv

app:extension-manager Listing installed App Extensions +0ms

Extension name: @quasar/dotenv
Extension prompts: {}

update: I got no prompts when trying to run dotenv in a clone of https://github.com/kpapro/quasar-firebase-firestore

I did get prompts in my project folder which was init’ed with the recent quasar build (v1.0.0-beta.19).

@AndrewE - The way it looks in that firebase scaffold, the dotenv app extension is already installed. Theoretically, the author of that repo should be making an app extension themselves to install that scaffold.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Nice solution, by the way it works fine when I call process.env.MYVAR jn the <script> section of my *.vue file, but it doesn’t work when I call it in my src/app/local.js file where I’d like to put some functions that I’ll call in a <script> of *.vue file. Any ideas how to handle it??

Found solution for my question. Just had to add this code in my src/app/local.js file:

const DotEnv = require('dotenv')

if(parsedEnv = DotEnv.config().parsed) {
  for (let key in parsedEnv) {
    process.env[key] = parsedEnv[key]
  }
}

How do you build a copy based on .env.staging

ArkIv

@aeiosapp
quasar.conf.json

build:{
   env: {...require("./config_env")}
  ... or
   env: {
        version: require("./package.json").version,
        ...require("./config_env")
      },
 ... or
  env: {...require("./config_env"), 
        ...require("./config_env-2"}

./config_env.js

module.exports={
 title: "no dotenv"
}

@ArkIv That’s good.

dotenv not working my quasar. so I mixed your method + qenv.

.quasar.env.json

{
  "development": {
    "ENV_TYPE": "Running Development",
    "ENV_DEV": "Development",
    "API_URL": "https://dev.some.com"
  },
  "production": {
    "ENV_TYPE": "Running Production",
    "ENV_PROD": "Production",
    "API_URL": "https://some.com"
  },
  "test": {
    "ENV_TYPE": "Running Test",
    "ENV_Test": "Test"
  },
  "stage": {
    "ENV_TYPE": "Running Stage",
    "ENV_STAGE": "Stage",
    "API_URL": "https://stg.some.com"
  }
}

quasar.conf.json

const configEnv = require('./.quasar.env.json')

module.exports = configure(function (ctx) {
  return {
    ......
          env: {
             // for settting proxy address with ctx.dev, ctx.prod
             IS_STAGE: false,
          },
    },

    devServer: {
      proxy: {
        // proxy all requests starting with /api to specific url
        '/api': {
          target: ctx.prod ? configEnv["production"].API_URL
          : process.env.IS_STAGE ? configEnv["stage"].API_URL
              : configEnv["development"].API_URL,
          changeOrigin: true,
          pathRewrite: {
            '^/api': ''
          }
        },
