Frequently asked questions

Are .env values typed or just strings?
Everything in a .env file is a raw string - there are no booleans, numbers, or nulls. Coerce values in your application code, for example by checking for "true" or parsing with Number().
Do I need quotes around .env values?
Quotes are only required when the value contains spaces, the # comment character, or you want to preserve newlines with escape sequences inside double quotes. Most simple values work fine unquoted.
What's the convention for variable names in a .env file?
Use uppercase letters, digits, and underscores, starting with a letter, like DATABASE_URL. Hyphens and dots are not portable across shells, and lowercase names work but clash with conventional shell style.
