### Removed

- Removed `browser` key in package.json. These were set to false incorrectly as of 16.1. Instead, if using dotenv on the front-end make sure to include polyfills for `path`, `os`, `fs`, and `crypto`. [Browserify](https://browserify.org/) provides these.

1. Preload dotenv: `node --require dotenv/config index.js` (_Note: you do not need to `import` dotenv with this approach_)
2. Create a separate file that will execute `config` first as outlined in [this comment on #133](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv/issues/133#issuecomment-255298822)

### Why am I getting the error `Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'crypto|fs|os|path'`?

You are using dotenv on the front-end. Webpack < 5 used to include polyfills for core Node.js modules like `crypto`, `fs`, `os`, and `path`. So today, you need to install and configure a polyfill for it.

```bash
npm install crypto-browserify
```

And then configure it in your webpack config.

```json
resolve.fallback: { "crypto": require.resolve("crypto-browserify") }
```

### What about variable expansion?
