Environment Configuration

Noblex uses dotenv to load environment variables from a .env file. This lets you manage configuration like database URIs, ports, and secrets without hardcoding them in your codebase.

1. Install dotenv

If you haven't already:

npm install noblex dotenv

To use modern ES module syntax (import / export) in your Node.js project, add this to your package.json:

{
  "type": "module"
}

2. Create environment files

For development, create a file named .env.development at your project root:

APP_PORT=4000
APP_HOST=http://localhost
DB_NAME=noblex_test_db
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=27017
DB_USER=
DB_PASS=
