Environment varibles load into bit - reproduction

What' I did to get here?

  • Installed bit on OSX manteray (node v.16.16.0, npm 8.11.0, bit 0.0.792, bvm 0.1.4)
  • I Ran
$ bit new react dot-env
$ cd dot-env
$ bit start  # localhost:3000 run as expected
$ bit create react text  # Creating a react compnent
$ bit create react-app host # Creating an app enviorment
  • I Added the .env file into the root and both of the compnent directories, In case there's a dot env loader hidden on some level.
  • I edited the text and the host compnent to use env var which exsited in the .env file
  • I ran both bit start and bit run host to check if the .env file is somehow being loaded, It's not.
  • I ran export REACT_APP_TEXT="hello" && bit start and REACT_APP_TEXT="hello" bit start and export REACT_APP_TEXT="hello" && bit run host and REACT_APP_TEXT="hello" bit run host, and none of them seems to load the env var.

What's ecpected

Bit to load enviorment varibles in some level.

  • Compnent level env vars
  1. Is there a way for a compnent to load and mange it's own env vars?
  2. Should I Write a custom env for each compnent that I needs env vars?
  • App level env vars
  1. Is there a way for an app to load env vars?
