📢 .env Support

In v0.13.0, SST added built-in support for loading environment variables from

.env

files. Read more about it here - https://docs.serverless-stack.com/working-locally#environment-variables

Hi Frank - In the docs for this is says the dotenv processing will never override a variable that’s already set. Does this mean that when deploying via Seed, if a variable is set in the app configuration in the Seed console, that it won’t be overwritten? I ask because it’s not clear to me in what order the env vars are applied

Hey Ross, that’s right. Seed env vars are made available when the build environment is spun up. So they are already set when

sst build

runs.

Great, thanks for clarifying

@Jay can we add a note for this to the doc?

Yup
