Environment Variables guide about hanami.github.io HOT 7 OPEN

@cllns I think this guide should be under Guides -> Projects section.

It should include the details mentioned in the comment above ☝️ and how to use Dotenv.

@jodosha why not add ^.env.production to the initially generated .gitignore?

I noticed HANAMI_ENV is nowhere mentioned in the guides.

Which section do you see that fitting best under in the Guide? Dotenv is easy enough but the SERVE_STATIC_ASSETS + heroku may be tricky for some.

@cllns Please do 👍 Be sure to make clear the security concerns of having a .env file in source control.

I also had trouble finding documentation on HANAMI_ENV, took me some trial and error, especially when running database migrations for test environment.

I'd love to help documenting this, but similar to the comment by @vladdypwnz, I'm new to Hanami and not sure where a section on environment variables belongs in the Guides. If anyone could give some pointers, that would be great.

@schnittchen

why not add ^.env.production to the initially generated .gitignore?

Because .env.production isn't generated by Hanami, and because for production env it MUST NOT be used. You should set env variables via your VPS/Cloud provider.
