Environment Configuration

This project uses separate environment files for development and production:

File	Purpose	When Loaded
.env.development	TEST/dev credentials	npm run dev
.env.production	LIVE/prod credentials	npm run build / npm run start
.env.example	Template reference	Never (documentation only)

Setup

1. Copy .env.example to .env.development and fill in your TEST credentials
2. Copy .env.example to .env.production and fill in your LIVE credentials

Priority Order

Next.js loads environment files in this priority (highest to lowest):

1. .env.development / .env.production (environment-specific)
2. .env.local (local overrides, always loaded)
3. .env (default fallback)

Deployment

When deploying to Vercel, set your production environment variables in: Project Settings → Environment Variables

Note: All .env* files (except .env.example) are gitignored to protect your credentials.
