idea: symlink .env?

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Right now developers have to run npm run setup to get examples-web to work.

Could we use a symlink instead from examples-web/.env -> ../.env ?

Thoughts @npty? This might break windows though, I'm not 100% sure.

The environment variables in examples-web/.env are used in the web browser. So, we need to prefix them with NEXT_PUBLIC_ in order to load into the Next.js properly (here's their doc). However, we could move the wallet interaction logic to the server, so we don't need to prefix them, then we can use symlink to the root env.
