Environment Variables (Explanation)

The following environment variables are stored in .env. Loading and usage of these variables is explained in Usage

• MONGODB_USERNAME: The username for MongoDB. Example: root
• MONGODB_PASSWORD: The password for MongoDB. Example: 1234
• MONGODB_HOST: The host for MongoDB. Example: localhost
• OPENAI_API_KEY: The API Key used to make requests to the OpenAI API. Example: sk-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890abcd
• SERVER_URL: The online server url. Example: https://online-server-url.onrender.com/

Environment Variables (Usage)

To load environment variables from a .env file in Python, you can use the python-dotenv package. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Save an .env file in your project. WARNING: make sure it is found in .gitignore. Save the above Variables in the .env file using the exact provided names.

2. Install the python-dotenv package (if you haven’t already):

   pip install python-dotenv
   

3. A brief example on how to load a specific environment variable:

   from dotenv import load_dotenv
   from globals import globals
   
   
   # Load the appropriate .env file
   if globals.env_status == "dev":
      load_dotenv('.env.dev')
   else:
      load_dotenv('.env.prod')
   
   mongodb_host = os.getenv('MONGODB_HOST')

Command-Line Arguments

• --env: Specifies the environment to run the server in. Valid options are dev and prod. The default is dev.
