Environment Variables in React application

I want to add a .env file in my React application. The project wasn't created using Create React APP. And without Webpack. I'm struggling to find a proper solution for this

For a easy solution you could try to use react-app-env.

You could folllow this simple guide. In brief:

  1. install it:

    yarn add --dev react-app-env (or npm install --save-dev react-app-env)

  2. change the start and build scripts:

    "scripts": {
  "start": "react-app-env start'",
  "build": "react-app-env build'",
  "test": "react-app-env test'",
  ...
}

  3. finally add at least two configuration files (on project root folder): development.env and production.env. By default development.env is used imported on npm start and npm test, and production.env on npm build.
