I would like to get access to an .env variable using Vue JS.
In my .env file I have added the 'MIX_' prefix to the var.
MIX_VAR=key
And then in the vue component, I have in the created():
console.log(process.env.MIX_VAR);
I keep getting undefined as the result.
I have tried clearing config cache, but still getting the same issue. Any ideas?
in windows :
thats worked for me without any require in webpack.mix
... just add a new variable in env file with this prefix : MIX_
MIX_API_URL=http://laravel:8000
but need to restart php artisan serve and also restart npm run watch....
let api_url = process.env.MIX_API_URL;
console.log("my env variable:");
console.log(api_url);
in linux or docker:
i didnt use them yet
You must build your JS for the env variables to be replaced. You can do this with npm or yarn
Pulled from the official docs @ https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/mix#environment-variables
Environment Variables
You may inject environment variables into Mix by prefixing a key in your .env file with MIX_:
MIX_SENTRY_DSN_PUBLIC=http://example.com
After the variable has been defined in your .env file, you may access via the process.env object. If the value changes while you are running a watch task, you will need to restart the task:
process.env.MIX_SENTRY_DSN_PUBLIC
The most important thing to remember is that you have to use Laravel Mix for this to work. Mix is what is injecting the environment variable.
process.env.MIX_VAR / process.env.MIX_STRIPE_KEY
It's will work without any settings. Just run this command
npm run prod
This works for me
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/mix#environment-variables
However, you will need to restart the task if the environment variable's value changes while the task is running: e.g If Watch is running then re-run it.
npm run watch
