DOTENV not reading variables properly
This is my file:
postgresU="myuser"
postgresP="mypass"
postgresH="myhost"
postgresDB="mydb"
postgresC="postgres://${postgresU}:{$postgresP}@{$postgresH}:5432/${postgresDB}"
In my nodejs app,
require('dotenv').config();
var connectionString = process.env.postgresC;
console.log("Connection String:",connectionString);
This prints:
Connection String: "postgres://${postgresU}:${postgresP}@${postgresH}:5432/${postgresDB}"
What am I doing wrong?
javascript node.js environment-variables pg-promise laravel-dotenv

You can use a package like dotenv-expand if you want to expand variables in .evn files.
Once installed (with npm or yarn) you can simply use a .env file with:
postgresU="myuser"
postgresP="mypass"
postgresH="myhost"
postgresDB="mydb"
postgresC="postgres://${postgresU}:${postgresP}@${postgresH}:5432/${postgresDB}"
and then process it with:
const dotenv= require('dotenv')
const dotenvExpand = require('dotenv-expand')
let myEnv = dotenv.config()
dotenvExpand(myEnv)
let connectionString = process.env.postgresC;
console.log(connectionString)
postgres://myuser:mypass@myhost:5432/mydb
