Environment Variable values

[mitski-shinm]

Is it possible to update the method of setting values in the app.py file by retrieving them from environment variables instead?
for example Bot Token and owner ids?

Yes, for some sensitive informations we can get the variable values from environment variables in app.py, you can use the os module in Python:

import os

BOT_TOKEN = os.environ['BOT_TOKEN'] 
OWNER_UID = [os.environ['OWNER_UID']]  

SERVER_NAME = os.environ['SERVER_NAME']
SERVER_ADDRESS = os.environ['SERVER_ADDRESS']
SERVER_PORT = os.environ['SERVER_PORT']
SERVER_STORE = os.environ['SERVER_STORE']

# Rest of the code

So instead of hardcoding the values, you load them from environment variables at runtime. This allows you to configure the values externally without changing code ☺️
