I have tried different approach, yet the code is not running.
###Your project links
solution: boilerplate-express - Replit
User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/122.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
Basic Node and Express - Use the .env File
Are you using the Replit Secrets for the environment variable?
You can’t use .env files with Replit
so I should use another IDE for this?
No. Just follow the docs I linked to.
Click the Secrets button and add MESSAGE_STYLE as the key and uppercase as the value.
I have done just that, is still not working
The code you had before worked. Now you have 4 different /json routes and none of them have correct code. The issue is not the environment variable but your code.
app.get(“/json”, (req, res) => {
process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE ===“uppercase”
const mySecret = process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE;
if (mySecret === "uppercase") {
res.json({"message": "HELLO JSON"});
} else {
res.json({"message": "Hello json"});
}
});
this is what I have and still not passing the test, if this is wrong then please point out possible solution, I will keep brainstorming on it
thank you for your response thus far
When I fork your Replit and add uppercase as the value for the MESSAGE_STYLE key it passes the tests.
this is what I have from my end, I know I am not supposed to share these but at this point I need to, please any further help will go a long way
Are you submitting the correct URL? It should be the one you get when clicking the “New tab” button by the preview window.
this is the link I am submitting
That is the editor.
You have to summit the URL from the page you open using the New tab button.
I honestly don’t understand this point.
please can you explain more, new tab or replit or my browser
Thank you for your time, I am glad to inform you the exercise have been passed
Gracias
