plugin-dotenv doesn't work #172

Closed HassanAlgoz closed 4 years ago

HassanAlgoz commented 4 years ago

I installed it with npm install --save-dev @snowpack/plugin-dotenv.
Added the plugin in snowpack.config.json:
```
"plugins": ["@snowpack/plugin-dotenv"]
```
Added a .env file with key value pairs:
```
key1=val1
key2=val2
```

Yet I don't see anything added to import.meta.env. Am I missing something?

snowpack version: 2.6.4

Same here. I think the plugin has a lack of documentation. Trying to get it works. UPD: It seems like public env vars need to be prefixed with SNOWPACK_PUBLIC_.

stramel commented 4 years ago

Correct, the environment variables need to be prefixed with SNOWPACK_PUBLIC_ to be used by Snowpack. This is to prevent accidental exposure of keys/secrets. I will update the README to include this note. Sorry for the confusion.
