# Environment Variables Guide

This document explains the centralized environment variable system for the Mana Core monorepo.

## Quick Start

```bash
# After cloning the repo, install dependencies (auto-generates .env files)
pnpm install

# Or manually generate .env files
pnpm setup:env
```

That's it! All app-specific `.env` files are generated from `.env.development`.

## How It Works

```
.env.development          # Central config (committed)
        │
        ▼
scripts/generate-env.mjs  # Transforms variables
        │
        ▼
apps/**/apps/**/.env      # Generated files (gitignored)
```

The generator reads `.env.development` and creates app-specific `.env` files with the correct prefixes for each platform:

| Platform | Prefix | Example |
|----------|--------|---------|
| Expo (mobile) | `EXPO_PUBLIC_` | `EXPO_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` |
| SvelteKit (web) | `PUBLIC_` | `PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` |
| NestJS (backend) | None | `SUPABASE_URL` |

## File Locations

## Adding New Variables

### Step 1: Add to `.env.development`

```bash
# In .env.development
MY_NEW_PROJECT_API_KEY=your-api-key
MY_NEW_PROJECT_URL=https://api.example.com
```

### Step 2: Update the Generator Script

Edit `scripts/generate-env.mjs` and add your app config:

```javascript
// In APP_CONFIGS array
{
  path: 'apps/my-project/apps/mobile/.env',
  vars: {
    // For Expo, add EXPO_PUBLIC_ prefix
    EXPO_PUBLIC_API_KEY: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_API_KEY,
    EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_URL,
  },
},
{
  path: 'apps/my-project/apps/web/.env',
  vars: {
    // For SvelteKit, add PUBLIC_ prefix
    PUBLIC_API_KEY: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_API_KEY,
    PUBLIC_API_URL: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_URL,
  },
},
{
  path: 'apps/my-project/apps/backend/.env',
  vars: {
    // For NestJS, no prefix needed
    API_KEY: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_API_KEY,
    API_URL: (env) => env.MY_NEW_PROJECT_URL,
  },
},
```

### Step 3: Regenerate

```bash
pnpm setup:env
```

## Local Overrides

If you need to override variables locally without affecting others:

1. The generated `.env` files are gitignored
2. You can manually edit them after generation
3. Or create `.env.local` files (also gitignored) that some frameworks auto-load

**Note:** Running `pnpm setup:env` will overwrite your changes, so use `.env.local` for persistent overrides.

## Docker Integration

The root `.env.development` is also used by Docker Compose:

```bash
# Start all services with shared env
pnpm docker:up:all
```

Docker services read from:
- Root `.env.development` for shared values
- Service-specific `.env` files for service-specific values

## Troubleshooting

### "Variable is undefined" Error

1. Check if the variable exists in `.env.development`
2. Run `pnpm setup:env` to regenerate
3. Restart your dev server (env changes require restart)

### Generated File Has Wrong Value

1. Check the mapping in `scripts/generate-env.mjs`
2. Ensure the source variable name matches exactly
3. Run `pnpm setup:env` again

### New App Not Getting Generated

1. Add app config to `APP_CONFIGS` in `scripts/generate-env.mjs`
2. Ensure the target directory exists
3. Run `pnpm setup:env`

### Expo Not Picking Up Changes

Expo caches environment variables. Clear the cache:

```bash
cd apps/<project>/apps/mobile
npx expo start -c
```

## Security Notes

- `.env.development` contains **development-only** values
- Never put production secrets in this file
- The JWT keys in `.env.development` are for local development only
- Use separate secrets management for production (1Password, AWS Secrets Manager, etc.)

## Migration from Old System

If you have existing `.env` files with real values:

1. Copy important values to `.env.development`
2. Delete the old `.env` files
3. Run `pnpm setup:env`
4. Verify apps still work

The old `.env.example` files can remain as documentation.
