Dotenv: Fails for react-native app

[bhanushukla]

The package at "./node_modules/dotenv/lib/main.js" attempted to import the Node standard library module "fs". It failed because React Native does not include the Node standard library. Read more at https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/faq.html#can-i-use-nodejs-packages-with-expo

Can this package be provided without dependency on NOde standard library so the it can be used with React Native also.

no, this package purposely is focused on being used in the Node environment

It took me quite a bit of painful cycles of trial and error, but I have found this package to be the .env solution that we react-native people are looking for... until everything changes a month from now, of course.

Don't bother trying to get regular dotenv to work. I have sunk down the rabbit hole, climbed back out, and have nothing but horror stories to share.
