question: How do I use environment variables?
---

Vite uses [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) to load environment variables from a file named `.env` or similar. Only environment variables prefixed with `VITE_` are exposed. You would need to instantiate dotenv yourself if you want all environment variables exposed in `process.env['YOUR_ENV_VAR']`. We hope to see all environment variables exposed on the server-side [in the future](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/3176).

[Environment variables cannot be used directly in Svelte templates](https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/issues/720) due [an issue in the way Vite's define plugin works](https://github.com/vitejs/vite/issues/3176).
