Next.js' util for loading dotenv files in with the proper priorities
Other packages similar to @next/env
dotenv
Dotenv is a popular npm package that loads environment variables from a .env file into `process.env`. Similar to @next/env, it helps in managing application configurations across different environments. However, dotenv is not specifically tailored for Next.js applications and can be used in any Node.js project.
cross-env
Cross-env allows you to set and use environment variables across different operating systems in a Node.js project. Unlike @next/env, which is focused on loading environment variables from files, cross-env is useful for setting environment variables directly in npm scripts in a cross-platform compatible way.
env-cmd
Env-cmd is another npm package that supports loading environment variables from a file into Node.js applications. It is similar to @next/env in its purpose but offers more flexibility in specifying different environment files for different environments (e.g., .env.production, .env.development) directly from the command line or scripts.
