How to create a project from scratch
Every time I used to build a new project it seemed there is a different strategy you have to come up with to manage configurations.
When I heard of dotenv and how common it was I figured that a standard would be simple to setup and consistent, but when I started using it felt like I had to re-invent the wheel every time.
After building hundreds of apps from scratch, consulting with people all over the industry, and answering countless questions to users of my open source libraries, I discovered that there's only a few patterns you need to know to be able to configure any app from scratch securely in a team.
In this course I'll show you the patterns for configuring any Javascript project to be secure and robust in team settings using environment variables.
In 12 videos we cover environment variables in back end node, front end react, and mobile react native. You'll learn when environment variables are not even the best solution for configuration and how to test them.
