The package at "node_modules\react-native-dotenv\index.js" attempted to import the Node standard library module "fs". It failed because the native React runtime does not include the Node standard library.

I was using expo with react-native-dotenv
with

    "expo": "^38.0.8",
    "react-native-dotenv": "^2.4.1",

and babel.config.js

module.exports = api => {
  api.cache(true);
  return {
    presets: ['babel-preset-expo'],
    plugins: [
      [
        'module:react-native-dotenv',
        {
          moduleName: '@env',
          path: '.env',
          blacklist: null,
          whitelist: null,
          safe: false,
          allowUndefined: false
        }
      ]
    ]
  };
};

I have use only this in my file

import {
  API_KEY,
  APP_ID,
  AUTH_DOMAIN,
  DATABASE_URL,
  MEASUREMENT_ID,
  MESSAGE_SENDER_ID,
  PROJECT_ID,
  STORA_BUCKET
} from '@env';

So after I read your suggestion of migrating to 2.x.x I tried your solution and still I can't seem to build an expo apps at all,
This is the error I got:

Failed building JavaScript bundle.
The package at "node_modules\react-native-dotenv\index.js" attempted to import the Node standard library module "fs". It failed because the native React runtime does not include the Node standard library. Read more at https://docs.expo.io/workflow/using-libraries/#using-third-party-libraries

I have tried everything and it doesn't seem to work. please help!
your sincere,
Charisu

edit: I fixed this issue by add this to my babel.config.js

{
    presets: ['babel-preset-expo', 'module:metro-react-native-babel-preset'],
    plugins: [
      [
        'module:react-native-dotenv',
        {
          moduleName: '@env',
          path: '.env',
          blacklist: null,
          whitelist: null,
          safe: false,
          allowUndefined: false
        }
      ]
    ]
  };

Closing this ._.
Thanks,
