reactjsHow do I use dotenv with ReactJS?

Using dotenv with ReactJS is a great way to manage environment variables. Environment variables are key-value pairs that can be used to store sensitive information such as API keys, database credentials, or other configuration settings.

Here's an example of how to use dotenv with ReactJS:

1. Install the dotenv package.

   npm install dotenv

2. Create a file called .env in the root of your ReactJS project.

3. Add environment variables to the .env file.

   API_KEY=my_api_key
   DB_USER=my_db_user
   DB_PASSWORD=my_db_password

4. Require the dotenv package and configure it in the entry point of your ReactJS application.

   require('dotenv').config();

5. Access the environment variables from within your React application.

   const apiKey = process.env.API_KEY;
   const dbUser = process.env.DB_USER;
   const dbPassword = process.env.DB_PASSWORD;

This is a great way to keep your environment variables secure and organized.
