# Environment Configuration Guide
This project supports multiple environment configurations for local development, development server, testing, and UAT environments.
## Environment Files
- `.env.example` - Template file with all available environment variables
- `.env.local` - Local development environment (default)
- `.env.dev` - Development server environment
- `.env.test` - Test/QA environment
- `.env.uat` - User Acceptance Testing environment
## Setup Instructions
1. **Copy the example file to create your environment file:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env.local
```
2. **Update the API URLs and configuration in your chosen environment file** with actual server URLs.
3. **Commit only `.env.example` to version control** - all `.env.*` files are gitignored.
## Running the Application
### Development Servers
- **Dev Environment (Port 9501):**
```bash
npm run dev
```
- **Test Environment (Port 9502):**
```bash
npm run test
```
- **UAT Environment (Port 5176):**
```bash
npm run uat
```
- **Local Development (Port 5174):**
```bash
npm run dev:local
```
### Building for Production
- **Build for Dev:**
```bash
npm run build
```
- **Build for Test:**
```bash
npm run build:test
```
- **Build for UAT:**
```bash
npm run build:uat
```
- **Build for Local:**
```bash
npm run build:local
```
### Preview Production Build
- **Preview Dev Build:**
```bash
npm run preview
```
- **Preview Test Build:**
```bash
npm run preview:test
```
- **Preview UAT Build:**
```bash
npm run preview:uat
```
- **Preview Local Build:**
```bash
npm run preview:local
```
## Environment Variables
Each environment file contains these variables:
- `VITE_API_URL` - Backend API endpoint URL
- `VITE_ENV` - Environment name (local, dev, test, uat)
- `VITE_APP_NAME` - Application name/title
You can add more variables as needed. They should be prefixed with `VITE_` to be accessible in the browser.
## Accessing Environment Variables in Code
Access environment variables in your React components:
```typescript
const apiUrl = import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL
const environment = import.meta.env.VITE_ENV
const appName = import.meta.env.VITE_APP_NAME
```
Example in ApiClient.ts:
```typescript
const baseURL = import.meta.env.VITE_API_URL
```
## Development Ports
Each environment runs on a different port:
| Environment | Port | Command |
|------------|-------|---------------|
| Dev | 9501 | `npm run dev` |
| Test | 9502 | `npm run test`|
| UAT | 5176 | `npm run uat` |
| Local | 5174 | `npm run dev:local` |
## Notes
- All environment files except `.env.example` are gitignored
- Never commit sensitive API keys or credentials to version control
- Use `.env.example` as a template for new environment setup
- Vite automatically loads the correct `.env.*` file based on the mode flag
