#Not Working Using An `env var` Within a `.npmrc` File

Hello,

I am trying to setup Hugeicons' new NPM Token verification method and can get the package installed when passing the token directly into the npmrc file! However, I want to pass this though an enviorment variable to be more secure! But when I do, I am unable to install the package as it can't find the token.

# .env (tried .env \ .env.local \ .env.development)

// I've tried the following
NEXT_PUBLIC_NPM_TOKEN=thetoken
NPM_TOKEN=thetoken
NEXT_PUBLIC_NPM_TOKEN="thetoken"
NPM_TOKEN="thetoken"
NEXT_PUBLIC_NPM_TOKEN = "thetoken"
NPM_TOKEN = "thetoken"

# .npmrc

; I've tried the following
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NEXT_PUBLIC_NPM_TOKEN
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_TOKEN
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NEXT_PUBLIC_NPM_TOKEN}
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=${NPM_TOKEN}

am I missing something?! Do I need to do anything within the next.config.js config file?!

Thanks,
Donald Louch

env variables aren'tloaded

#

if running NPM_TOKEN="thetoken" npm i works that's the cause

#

Do you know how I can fix this?!

So would it be

// .env
NPM_TOKEN="thetoken" npm i

// .npmrc
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=$NPM_TOKEN

If so, then yes I have tried that and still no luck!

brave lotus
#

just try running

#

in the terminal

#

NPM_TOKEN="thetoken" npm i

#

replacing thetoken with your token

lucid ferry
#

I just tried that and it isn't working either!

brave lotus
#

you're supposed to do it like registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken={$NPM_TOKEN}

#

with the parenthesis

#

and then you add the token to your bash/zshrc

#

since it doesn't pick up from .env iirc but i might be wrong

lucid ferry
#

Okay, do you know if I can have that added to vercel for deployment?!

brave lotus
#

I'm not sure

#

try it and see

#

that was the wrong emoji i thought there was one about tryitandsee

Update: did not work with Vercel 😅
