I output to the console , but for some reason the value of this property is undefined require('dotenv').config()console.log(process.env.API_KEY)

By default, in my opinion, the .env file is searched, but in the options you can specify the path if you have an arbitrary name, or the file lies in some place where the module cannot find it, let's say path: path.resolve(__dirname, '. env.local')
