Basic Node and Express - Use the .env File

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello, i keep getting this message
" // running tests The response of the endpoint

/json

should change according to the environment variable

MESSAGE_STYLE

// tests completed"
even though i think my code is correct (i have my .env file at the root of my project directory). Please i need assistance.

My code so far

require(‘dotenv’).config();
let express = require(‘express’);
let app = express();

app.get(“/”, (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + ‘/views/index.html’);
});

app.use(“/public”, express.static(__dirname + ‘/public/’));

app.get(“/json”, (req, res) => {
if (process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE === “uppercase”) {
res.json({“message”: “Hello json”.toUpperCase() });
} else {
res.json({“message”: “Hello json”});
}
});
