Environment variables

What's the intended method to access environment variables in Start in isomorphic code like createRouter? (import.meta as any).env.VITE_MY_URL works on the client and server and import.meta.MY_URL and process.env.VITE_MY_URL don't.

@Maintainer - Router we need to build a solution for type safe env vars like Astro. I believe nitro handles the compatibility to all of the hosting providers.

so like this? https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/environment-variables/#intellisense-for-typescript

manually defining an env.d.ts?

wise-white•13mo ago

Yep. We basically need to clone that page and functionality import.meta.env is where stuff will live. Not process. (AFAIK) @ballingt I would refer to astros docs and if something there doesn’t work in Start, then file an issue

Integrate with t3-env?

tl;dr, zod wrapper for env vars that validates at build and runtime

That’s cool

I've been trying

      console.log("env", import.meta.env.CLERK_HERMES_SIGN_IN_URL);
      console.log("env2", process.env.HERMES_BACKEND_URL);

      console.log("env", import.meta.env.CLERK_HERMES_SIGN_IN_URL);
      console.log("env2", process.env.HERMES_BACKEND_URL);

And they both come back as undefined in a beforeLoad on a router file - not sure if that's a start issue.
