Hi, I have an express app and a next app dir app in the same repo. I have an environment varaible file which I would like to make accessible to both the express application and the next application.
How can I tell next about this environment variable file? It only needs to use the environment variable in a single middleware function.
For express the solution was to add this code to my index.ts file
dotenv.config({ path: path.resolve(__dirname, "../../.env") });
What is the solution for next?
