Webpack issue on Heroku

[zkwsk]

We use dotenv-webpack to have access to env variables from within React, not just on the server side.

Webpack cannot build on heroku because dotenv-webpack can't find a .env file. Reason being that you don't actually have a .env file on Heroku but all env vars are being managed in the Heroku interface.

This seems to be the solution:

But I don't understand how we managed to get the class-11 final project build?

Further, the configuration in the boilerplate and class-11 is a bit different. There is not "path" in the boilerplate, leading me to believe that parsing env vars from .env during webpack build does not work in the boilerplate. Please check this and verify that the project not only builds on heroku, but it also parses env-vars during webpack build.
