Basic Node and Express - Use the .env File

JavaScript

Tell us what’s happening:

I have created process.env, set MESSAGE_STYLE=uppercase and
used require(‘dotenv’).config() in myApp.js, but my process.env.MESSAGE_STYLE variable seems to be empty when being read in my if statement. Can anyone advise? Thanks.
