## Usage of Environment Variables

This app uses a few environment variables which are required for development. The production build uses values directly injected by the server serving this app.

We use [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) for setting environment variables for development. Create a `.env' file in the root directory (wherever package.json is) and set the following values. Replace accordingly for testing.

```
PORT=3000
NODE_ENV=development
DATA_API_URL=http://localhost:9000
API_HOST=http://localhost
API_PORT=9693
ACCESS_KEY=abcd
CONSOLE_MODE=cli
DEV_DATA_API_URL=http://localhost:9000
URL_PREFIX=/
```

**Note**
The .env file should not be in version control.
