How can i add .env to hydrogen project?

[lagahrajan]

Right now if i add .env or .env.local at the root of my project like
.env

PRIVATE_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN=something

and try to access it lets say
console.log(process.env) it log env variables in my console without PRIVATE_STOREFRONT_API_TOKEN in it and in browser it throw exception

👋. Seems you are using hydrogen v1 https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen-v1.
You need to append PUBLIC_ to the environment variables you want to make accessible.

So by public it means its unsafe?

It means it will be exposed to the client/browser.
