Working with environment variables flutter By Codefarmer

In this video, we will see how to setup and use environment variables with Flutter. We will not be using any package to handle this.

Usage

• Load environment variables from file.

  flutter run --dart-define-from-file=lib/config/config.json
  

• Setup VSCode Debugger to autoload the env file. add toolArgs parameters --dart-define-from-file PATH/TO/ENV/FILE to launch.json file.

        ]
      },

        ]
      },
      {
