Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

if you are using latest version of nextJs ( above 9 ) then follow these steps : Create a .env.local file in the root of the project. Add the prefix NEXT_PUBLIC_ to all of your environment variables. eg: NEXT_PUBLIC_SOMETHING=12345 use them in any JS file like with prefix process.env eg: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SOMETHING
