Setting environment variables
Hello,
I'm using the React version of Metronic Theme (Demo 8) and I couldn't change the base API URL.
I added an .env file and added the 'REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL' variable in to it, but the requests are still sent to 'http://localhost:3000/undefined/'.
I'm not sure why it's happening and how can I set environment variables.

Have somebody faced this issue? I'm still looking for a solution...
Hi Tamir,
Could you please show what is your current REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL variable value?
If you have set your value correctly, then in your files you can refer to this variable with process.env.REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL.

Hi Lauris,
The current REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL is undefined. I don't know how to set a value.
I tried creating an .env file, but it's still undefined.
Hi,
You have to create .env file and inside this file include a variable with name REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL and set value of your API URL.
REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL=https://preview.keenthemes.com/theme-api/apiYou can refer to .env file in the default Metronic package.

Hi Lauris,
As I mentioned before, I already created the .env file and it's not working. I set the REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL variable and it's still being undefined.
Hi,
If you have already set this variable then you should be able to access this variable in your files using process.env.REACT_APP_THEME_API_URL.
As you might see we have two API URLs in .env, the first is for authentication and the second is for users crud applications, make sure that you have replaced both variables or have updated a reference to those variables.

Hi,
I can't find the default .env file in the demo1 directory.
Where can I find it?
Hi,
It should be included inside a demo folder.
Which Metronic version are you using?

I just downloaded the latest demo8 and demo1 React folders, and both doesn't include .env file.
Hi,.env files usually are hidden by default, to view them you can open a project in your code editor program or configure your finder to show hidden files or view them in terminal with command ls -a.
