Configuration of the breeze

breeze has a configuration class in breeze.config.Config but we can’t edit this file because in that case our keys are placed in the code and this is not a good practice. So we have to create a file .env at the root of the project and we can edit it.

.env file is a file that contains environment variables. It is a file that is used to store configuration variables. python dotenv is a library that allows us to read and write environment variables from a file for more information visit here.

Warning

.env file not commited to the repository because it’s name in the .gitignore file. we not suggest to commit this file because it’s not a good practice.

for example .env file contains the following:

RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY=<your_recaptcha_public_key>
RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY=<your_recaptcha_private_key>
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=<your_github_client_id>
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_github_client_secret>
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=<your_discord_client_id>
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_discord_client_secret>
